Fiorelli's lose trailer/car in fire on the way to Gators

for those of you who haven't heard, the fiorelli's lost their trailer and everything in it in a fire on the way to the gators this past weekend. this is the email i received from denise:

An unfortunate thing happened on the way to Gainesville Wed evening.
Our trailer caught on fire. We had just left and were onlty 15 minutes from home.
The entire inside and contents are all burned and damaged by fire or deystroyed by the 300 gallons of water the fire dept pumped into the trailer to put out the fire.
What a helpless feeling to sit on I-95 and helplessly watch everything we have go.
The outside of the trailer looks as if nothing happened. It is amazing, but you open the door and just want to cry. We are at home right now trying to assess our damage and working with the insurance company. At this point help from them looks doubtful.
Please tell our friends to have a safe race weekend.
We do not know how long or if we will be able to recover from this set back.
We are a pretty optimistic and upbeat team...but right now our future is uncertain.

lets see if we can help them out where we can. you can email the fiorelli's at ddfio@aol.com

i dont have detailed info, but from what i understand, something in the axle area broke, caused sparks that ignited something inside.
