Yikes this sounds bad. looks like a good chunk of woodland scenic's buildings went up in this fire. i hope they can recover quickly from this.

sounds like they employ a lot of the small town they are in as well so huge hurt to the local economy potentially.

And talk about bad timing....it's winter and this is the busiest time of the year for modelers. I hope it's a fast recovery.

well luckily it does not sound horrible from this letter from woodland scenics posted earlier today. i think the evacuation and all was due to the flamable materials they had in the buildings and a concern for the fumes the burning materials might pose.

 

cheers

Dear all,

 

As you may have heard we have experienced a fire here at Woodland Scenics

and there is good news and bad news. The good news is that no one was hurt

during the fire or evacuation process. The bad news is that it took out a

couple of our manufacturing buildings. However, and fortunately, there is

more good news than bad.

 

We encompass multiple buildings that are spread out all over the town of

Linn Creek. We only lost two of those buildings and those two contained just

a small portion of our manufacturing facilities. Our shipping department,

warehouse and corporate offices were spared any damage, as were most of our

manufacturing buildings, so it is business as usual.

 

Thanks for all your concerns.

 

Respectfully,
