A man has taken drastic measures to save two forklifts from a fire, crashing them through a plant's closed loading doors.
Mike Lamarre, general manager of Lamarre Concrete, rushed to a fire at the company's plant last week. Once inside, he first crashed a USD100,000 forklift through the doors, then followed with another worth $50,000. A third forklift could not be saved, according to Associated Press.
The fire destroyed half the 13,500-square-foot plant.
