"I love to come to work every day," said Chason's manager Kevin Hackney. "I've got a great group of people. Some good guys. Some good mechanics. Some good folks to work for. You can't ask for a better job.

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

Hackney said he's already receiving help to conduct his business somewhere else while he goes through the insurance claim.
