GZ Plant? Fire..

[jhdave]

Anyone here know anymore info on the fire at the GZ plant? That sucks, I wish them the best, and prayers are with them as they go through the repairs and God knows what else.

I really hope it's not too serious and they can bounce back quickly

I tried to go back and edit out my signature, as I just noticed that it was in very bad taste considering. It was certainly not intentional!

seems to be ok
from another forum:

No need for panic - just spoke with my boss and aparently only the hand-assembly area was effected. Some guy was pouring glue into a machine and the lighter in his pocket exploded (?) causing a fire.... nothing too serious, according to what I have heard.

From the very few I had the chance to read and understand, this seems to be confined and under control.
Anyway, our best wishes for a prompt restoring of the damaged parts.
It happens. It happened here back in the days as well.
I am sure they will be OK in a short time - big company, big shoulders!
