Last weekend we had a fire at our manufacturing plant on Johns Prairie, like nothing we've ever had. Within an hour thousands of yards of material were engulfed, many machines were on fire, and it was starting to spread to surrounding properties.
We are thankful for our incredible staff who went above and beyond their normal job description. Particularly, Sean Sakai, Kyle Weaver, Randy Cocchi, Adam Cain, and Rob Dunlap. These guys showed up (after hours) and worked all through the night running water truck, excavating the burning product, getting machinery extinguished and moved out of harm’s way.
Thank you to the first responders who took care of the rest of the site and surrounding properties. I don’t know how you all do this line of work; you are lifesavers.
Because of everyone’s efforts, we walked away with minimal damage. Some product was lost, but not everything. Some minor damage to equipment, but only minimal. Everyone is safe and the fire didn't destroy any neighboring property.
We appreciate everyone who has reached out and yes...
we are operating business as usual. ❤️🙌
