What do we do put the fire out and possibly get blown? we endedup kicking the cells away and puting out the fire. It was scary!

We still use the shade tent, with a couple of sunroofs!

So the moral of the story is dont leave charged packs in your tool box!

If you want to come and see our sun roof come talk to us
Thats one of the funniest stories I have read.
