We were so lucky there were no power lines down. We are lucky we have a firefighter who’s a pilot. He knew exactly what to do. The engine was still running, the fuel pump was running. He was able to turn the power off quickly to ensure everyone’s safety. Fuel was leaking everywhere. There was no fire, but with the engine running, it could have ignited and caused major problems.”

Check the photo of the engine.......they must be very tough fuel lines...etc....
