Rutland Plywood Plant in Vermont Burns to the Ground
Terrible news. The Rutland Plywood plant in Rutland, Vermont burned down last week. Rutland was a major supplier of laminated wood stock blanks. Now the plant is nothing but ashes. Sadly, in the aftermath of this terrible fire, we can expect shortages of laminated blanks for some types of stocks.
A massive, five-alarm fire engulfed the Rutland plant on the morning of 21 August, eventually burning the facility to the ground. 100 fire-fighters from six departments fought the fire, but the conflagration was too large, too fierce and the factory was reduced to cinders. Watch this amateur video to see the Rutland blaze in all its hellish power:
After combing through the aftermath of the blaze, investigators ruled out arson. According to David Sutton, a fire investigator: “It was in an area of some machinery that has been known to start fires in the past and the evidence we found in that room where that occurred, it appears that may have happened again.” Thankfully no one was killed or injured, but the plant was a total loss. The Rutland Plywood Plant employed 170 person in Vermont. Now those plant workers must find new jobs.

That’s not good…
Sad news. I wonder if this is the plant that supplied stock wood to Alex Sitman from Master Class Stocks? I just ordered a stock from him and he commented how I was lucky to get my order in as there was a fire at his stock supplier.
Sad news. A reminder to do your best to fix all known problems, if possible. Granted, it isn’t always possible, some problems are going to persist regardless of attempts to correct them, just fortunate that no one was killed or injured this time.
