Yooper Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I hope everyone is safe. Please let there be no guitars in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 That is actually a long way from the new production area. But Everything in that area is a tinderbox. Old wood floors, ect. Praying that it gets contained quickly!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 I just talk to someone at channel 3 news. They claim that it was smoke from a grinder. That's all that they could tell me so I guess we'll have to wait and see what it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 A fire around those spray booths (even if they were not in use) would be bad. Nitrocellulose residue is HIGHLY flammable. Looking at MLive, there was no mention of any incidents at Parsons Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkKitty Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I checked the Kalamazoo Gazette page this morning. There was nothing about the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium Maestro Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 All is well, the factory was performing demo on the 3rd floor near the original paint booth that ignited that old nitro, they had the sprinklers and close fire depot to save the day.

PunkKitty Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Good news. Thanks for confirming that, Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboyjo Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Good news. All that old structure and chemicals would definitely be trouble. And on a selfish note- My tour is set for Weds Aug 16th! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Personally, I am thinking they started the fire to mark ten years of HOC. I mean, HOC started up just about the time the place had the fire the first time, eh? What are the chances? Anyway, it's either that or they elected a new pope.
