There was litterally nothing left so it is hard to say but it went up fast from what I understand. It was in my shop at the time and he pushed it out and put out a small fire that had started in the shop when he got back to the car the exstinguisher he first grabbed wouldn't put it out and it was a total loss extremely quickly I guess.
