The Batcopter replica, inspired by the 1960s “Batman” TV series, operated by Gary White was damaged in the fire that took White’s home. He said the bubble at the front of the craft would need to be replaced and would cost thousands of dollars.
Char and ash lie on the floor of the second small home that sits on the property White’s main residence had been on prior to the fire. Damage from the blaze caused much of the back wall to burn and the inside of the home smelled strongly of smoke from the fire that destroyed the adjacent building.
