The Summit Transmissions Fire:
Lessons learned from a shop owners' worse nightmare
Wednesday August 17, I arrived home around 9:40 p.m. when I received a phone call from my employee Jorge. Fire trucks were at my shop and I needed to get there right away!!! For any business owner this is one of the worst nightmares anyone can have. As we drove back to work, both Sandy and I remained calm and focused. We needed to take care of business.
When we pulled into the parking lot, I got my first real view of the damage. Five of my six roll up doors had been sliced open. My front door lock had been cut with a power saw that took its anger out on the door frame as well as the lock. The only lights were from flashlights and the fire trucks on the scene. Staring at me from the bay, closest to the office was the charred remains of a Honda Odyssey. It had come in for an intermittent transmission problem, and it was late in the day before we experienced it. I called the customer to let him know that we were keeping it overnight. The windows were rolled up and the ignition key was removed and left on the center console.
