Inferno

I just feel that I should share this feeling of helplessness with my brothers and sisters.
The picture is of a lumber mill that is connected to our property that went up in flames on the weekend. I too work at a lumber mill and it is a miricle that we managed to save most of our place. The lumber piles in the yards actually touch each other so we can't get any closer to each other. The picture as usual does no justice to the devastaion that happened. It certainly drives home just how quick your work situation can change and how insignificant other problems may be at work. This resulted in 80 guys being thrown out of work by the flicker of a flame. We are still all working at my mill mainly because the big guy upstairs was watching over us. The cause is still under investigation.

Now that really sucks, Im so glad it was not your place.

Everytime you think something is solid and you can count on it, something can come along and take it all away in a heartbeat.

Did it take all the machinery with it? Or mostly stock?

Wow, must have been a huge fire to take that whole place down. The metal beams were burned down and all? How quick is the fire response in that area? Considering that its Canada it must be pretty secluded...

oh man sorry to hear that... big fires are nothing to scoff at; just a few months ago i was at my aunts house in south jersey and a hay baler caught on fire and lit up a few acres of the hay...driving by the smoldering fields is a hard shake back into reality, where after a napalm rocket you dont just go back to the respawn...

That is just amazing that no one was hurt and no further damage was done. I'm glad to hear that you came out of it with just a reality check. A picture does tell a thousand words.

Equipment can be replaced...lives can't. Everyone made it out OK and that is what matters. Sounds cliche' but true.
