I have just been to Barton and seen the torched Enstrom, it gives you a lot of confidence in the firewall, I hope it works as well when the fire is on the other side!

It was caused by two morons pouring a flammable liquid over it and tossing in a match.

No fault of either pilot or aircraft.

It is indeed surprising that the fuel tanks remained intact as they are immediately aft of the firewall.
