An accident involving a welding machine and an aerosol can caused a workshop of beloved treasures to erupt into flames yesterday afternoon.
Millers Flat retiree Colin Bayne was welding in his large shed in Craig Flat Rd at about 4.30pm when an aerosol can dropped from his workbench, punctured and sent a jet of paint geysering.
The paint ignited instantly.
Flames enveloped tools, a lathe and a collection of seven Honda motorbikes.
