Last year around this time I had a fire under the cab on our D8T. I managed to manually set the fire supression system off and luckily the fire went out. I got it to a fire hose and we saved the machine.
Well Wednesday night she caught fire again for another operator under the cab. He just had enough time to get out. She's a total loss. Absolutely nothing left inside the cab. There was fire in the engine bay also and the engine looks bad.
We'll see what the insurance says but I think she's done.
This is at a Pulp Mill pushing chips. She had 22-23000 hours on her and she was still a great machine.
