Someone's pride & joy up in smoke - these people must be gutted.

Though, shed full of highly inflammable material in the middle of the bush - past electrical problems in the shed, no scheme water - me thinks I would have possibly had the problem looked at.

The guy who lost the Phase 3 in the last shed fire was due to a faulty fridge apparently

Moral of the story

Well that's true, if you leave it in the fridge it will only burn with it.
