Man Uses Snowblower To Put Out House Fire

Posted by samzenpus on from the escanaba-in-da-firelight dept.

The only thing cooler than a man putting out a house fire with a snowblower is listening to a man with a yooper accent tell the story. Steve Liubakka of Diorite, Michigan managed to contain his neighbors house fire with his quick thinking and his snowblower. "The fire chief told us, well if it wasn't for the snow blower, you wouldn't have a house. The snow blower isn't a $550,000 fire truck, but it did the job," Liubakka says.

    So you can blow out a fire of this size? I mean without explosives.
