Chimney fire at my first comp in Memphis, nearly lost the brisket

About 2 years ago at the Memphis in May contest, my offset's chimney flare-up sent flames straight into the cook chamber at 3am. I yanked the lid, moved the brisket to a cooler, and let it burn out for 20 minutes before re-firing, but I lost all my bark and had to wrap it in foil to save the cook. Anyone else had a fire scare mid-contest and how did you recover your protein?

Wrapping early saved mine too, lost bark but kept the win alive.
