I just read that on the pager a few minutes ago.
They're saying it started in the loading dock area and has spread to the store, gone to a second alarm already.

Can someone translate that for us non-first responders? Bad? Really Bad?

Just tuned it in on my scanner. They are breaking thru the walls to make sure no further fire remains and called for the "building commissioner" to go to the building which to me implies they are questioning the structural integrity of that part of the building.
Sounds like they will be closed for a while and a certain Rat will be rejoicing.

Fire was in the walls of the building on left side of the building (behind gun counter). They opened up the walls to check for fire. Sounds like good amount of smoke in the store, but no fire made it out of the walls. Building inspector being called is nothing out of the ordinary. They go to almost all fires. I have a few friends on the scene will update tomorrow after I get info from them.
Fire Knocked Down, companies OverHauling (punching holes in the walls looking for hot spots).

That would be right up Building 19's alley . . . but not when it comes to guns or anything related to them!
I don't know "fire science" so I don't know what part of the store this translates to, but they were working the "B C" corner. Maybe one of our resident firefighters can translate that? But smoke damage is incessant and goes everywhere even if no water or fire hits the products.

Oh look someone has an opinion different than me must be a d-bag; I have. Hows the Hitler youth group going?
Wow, I was just there with the kids (7 and 5) today and we had a blast....my son got to take his first shots with a BB gun and real bow and my daughter finally understands the front sight and lit up the shooting gallery with the laser gun. hope no one was hurt and they can get back up and running in short order
When outside, looking at the front of the building:
A side is the front
B is left side
C is rear
D is right side
So BC corner is the left rear.
I agree with you. I've only been there one time to get a sight and rest for my bow. Had them install them, when I got home I noticed they never put the light on my sight....
I called, and two days later it was in my mailbox with a 20.00 gift card with an apology note,
and a voucher for 5 free hour of range time at Reedys Archery.

Thank you both!
And nobody should be celebrating the loss of jobs and destruction of a business. It's not my favorite store and I've rarely bought anything there, but I wish them no ill. No matter what it will take some time to repair the damage, get the stink of fire out of the air in the building and replace stock. That means a lot more people on unemployment for an extended period of time and that is again, NOT a good thing. Anyone who celebrates a fire like this is a very sick person!
