It IS possible! **faint**

In OCt of '06 there was a devastating fire at this business. While the building and some of the equipment were insured, the owners took a huge financial loss and emotional blow by what was destroyed. 10 yrs of work in building their business and improving their product went up in smoke.

Since then, the rebuilding has faltered and they've struggled to stay afloat. It's questionable whether they will ever really get back to where they were. Recently, one of the co/owners had an accident and broke BOTH ankles which obviously made it very hard to work and keep up with all that needs to be done on a daily basis. This is a 24/7 type of operation, so for one person to handle it alone is just a killer.

So I stumbled onto their product being advertised, contacted them and am now trying to help them to get things selling again. What they have that I want is something I already have, but in a different, more desirable size.

Any ideas? LOL There are several clues here...

Is this mostly in Wisconsin? Something someone here in podunk Indiana would know about?...LOL

It actually happened in North Dakota... so until just recently I hadn't heard about it either but I dare bet it was rather big news in a few different circles when it happened. Very tragic.

Well, I tried doing a search and I don't have enough information. I must be dense because I don't see very many clues

You sure got me, Tink!!!

So did I Diana. I googled North Dakota, fire October 2006. There was a fire that is spreading from one spot to another, I have no idea what they're talking about....BUT it did say something about websites. We know Tink is prolific at websites.

I just googled industrial fire, ND, 10/06. There was a huge fire at the Apex Chemical plant, which may have caused damage to the downtown area.

How's that so far Tink?

I went back and checked out the clues Tink, plus what Judy found and I haven't any idea. You're gonna have to tell us before we go crazy.

wow... that would have been a mess, but not the one I'm referring to.
This fire took place on Halloween 2006. Donnybrook Fire Department and Kenmare Fire Departments responded.
