SALIDA --

A fire buffeted by high winds and dry grass destroyed at least five storage sheds behind a home in Salida late Friday morning.

The blaze at 3901 Finney Road started north of the property, and a cause has not yet been determined, said Battalion Chief Cecil Ridge of the Modesto Regional Fire Authority.

Ridge said somebody was discing weeds to the north of the property, but could not confirm if that played a role.

Nobody was injured in the roughly four-acre fire, and there was no damage to the home or garage.

Homeowner Richie Gotelli was having a yard sale in the front and was taking a break on the back patio when he smelled smoke.

"Something told me something was going to happen because of that dry grass when they were out there cutting," he said. "All of a sudden, I smelled smoke. I saw flames. They started about 500 to 600 feet in the middle of that field (to the north)."

He said he ran to two people on the property discing the land; they thought the machinery might have hit a rock and sparked the blaze. He said they told him they had called a fire department.

Gotelli ran back to the house and grabbed an extinguisher and a hose to try to keep the flames from reaching the buildings on his property.

However, by that time, the fire was fast approaching. Gotelli fought as hard as he could before he was overcome by smoke and flames being pushed by warm winds reaching about 25 mph.

Salida blaze destroys sheds behind home

Perkasie, PA (PRWEB) May 31, 2013

Enter this Amish made home art studio in Perkasie, PA and you might want to make it a home or summer cabin! The two story modular shed from Sheds Unlimited INC of Lancaster, PA is home to the Maggie Leiby Fine Art Studio. It was a dream come true for this late-in-life art enthusiast even though the interior was bare wood and framing boards. But with a few thousand dollars and the hard work of Maggies husband, this at home art studio soon became a charming piece of art itself!

Margaret began ponder the idea of a home art studio years after a night time dream awakened a passion in her which she did not even know existed. She dreamt of meeting Jesus at the end of her life and he asked, Where are all the paintings? A bit bewildered at the meaning, she awoke and began pushing her family towards art. It wasnt until after she had enrolled her husband and sons in art classes that she discovered it was she that had the hidden talent. Maggie enrolled at Kennesaw State University in Georgia and graduated in 1994 with a BA in Studio Art. Her work as an artist took on a very important part of her life.

Painting now became her favorite pastime and even a job at which spent countless hours learning and creating beautiful hand painted art. After moving to Perkasie, PA Leiby began painting in the basement of their home. She opened an art gallery nearby as an outlet to display and market her paintings. However, the house was getting a bit tight and she needed a building with plenty of light and open space for a home art school. That was when she found Sheds Unlimited INC of Lancaster County, PA.

She visited the Sheds Unlimited manufacturing facility in Gap and was immediately attracted to the modular two story sheds which she thought would make the perfect at home art studio. It would allow her to have a private painting studio on the second floor with plenty of room and lots of light, as well as ample space on the first floor for the art school she was dreaming of.

It wasnt long until the customized modular two story building was on order. It arrived only weeks after placing the order and her husband went to work ordering materials to finish out the inside. After four months of work insulating, wiring and dry-walling the inside, the home art studio was ready to move into. It was an exciting day when Maggie began painting in her new brightly lit at home art studio!

Today Maggie not only paints in her new home studio, she holds weekly classes in her backyard art studio every Thursday morning. Students set up their painting easels on the wide open first floor equipped with a small kitchen and decorated with lots of paintings on the walls. It also serves as a place for Maggie to display her artwork for anyone who might be interested.

The painting continues and Maggie could not be happier with her home art studio shed. In fact, she tells how that when a problem arose with design of the two story shed, Sheds Unlimited came with a crew and some large equipment to make it right making her a very satisfied customer of Sheds Unlimited.

Sheds Unlimited is a provider of home sheds and barns based in Gap, PA. With over twenty years experience in the industry, they continue to expand their products. Most recent has been the addition of potting sheds, summer cabins and home office sheds. Whatever the need, it seems this company is able to provide a solution. At least, that is what Maggie Leiby seems to think!

Garden sheds destroyed in fire in Catchgate, near Stanley

2:01pm Thursday 30th May 2013 in News

TWO garden sheds were destroyed and a utility room was slightly damaged by a fire in a north Durham town in the early hours of this morning (Thursday, May 30).

Firefighters were called to the blaze at Harperley Gardens, Catchgate, near Stanley, at about 3.30am.

County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service station manager Fraser McGuffog said: Two two appliances, from Consett and High Handenhold respectively, attended the blaze.

When we arrived on the scene it looked as through the back of the house was on fire, but it was not until we went around the back that we realised it was two sheds that were well alight.

Four breathing apparatus and two hosereels were used to extinguish the flames. We are able to prevent the fire from spreading to the house.

Mr McGuffog said the fire destroyed two sheds, as well as some wheelie bins. A utility room built on to the side of the house was also slightly damaged.

The cause of the fire is not known.
