It's a shame to see a piece of equipment go out like that.
This should be a reminder for everyone to keep a fire extinguisher on their machines at all times, and have the extinguisher checked out at least every six months. In my line of work, I see a lot of burnt crispy machines, machines that would still be working properly if a fire extinguisher had been handy.
Oh yeah, Keep those catch pans clean too!!!!!
