Bass Pro On Fire

[robe0531]

not a bad fire at all it is near the boat service center

 

[porkpiehat]

My brother worked there for years, he just moved 3 weeks ago to Mesa AZ and they let him transfer his job there.

Hope the employees can work at other stores while they rebuild.

if i had to guess on what started it i would go with someone throwing a cigarette

 

[n1bsbri]

I hope there's not too much smoke / water damage. That can ruin a ton of merchandise.

 

[Dr. Brass]

here is a pic of the fire not that bad at all View attachment 34537

Doesnt look too bad.. Could have been worse!!

 

[robe0531]

i bet smoke never made it to the sale floor

 

[Dr. Brass]

Probably the farthest point from clothing and such

 

[Bob P]

If the merch is damaged they're going to claim insurance for it. The carrier will pick up the salvage and sell it off to a Building 19 type operation.

 

[Carnea]

Unfortunate for the store, and especially the employees.

Not very nice....Our NES family has a reputation of helping people, businesses and charities....

Negative rep left

Burn Baby Burn; everytime I go there the service is horrible; no big loss

WCVB TV5 is reporting that the fire may have started in the mulch outside the building, next to the boat service entrance.

 

[Deer Slayer]

Fire Sale?

Dude..... Im there

 

[dannyac]

are the fish ok

 

[Len-2A Training]

Just heard on the scanner. Unless the Building Commissioner says otherwise, BP will be allowed to re-open tomorrow, just cordoning off the affected area. BP will have crew cleaning up the mess after the FD leaves (they are still there).

Employees were allowed to retrieve their personal belongings a while ago.

Maybe a cigarette butt, patriot place is supposed to go smoke free soon isnt it

 

[Radtekk]

Oh look someone has an opinion different than me must be a d-bag; I have. Hows the Hitler youth group going?

Dude, seriously? Tongue-in-cheek sarcasm is one thing. Rejoicing in innocent people's misfortune is beyond the pale. I don't get your "Hitler youth group" correlation, but they would be the ones enjoying other people suffering.

In the year and a half I've been here I've never neg-repped anyone, and I have disagreed with plenty. You win, my streak just ended...

- 1 to you Sir

Why is it, that always someone feels compelled to throw some Nazi shit into whatever discussion? Sucks big time!

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Melted Glocks and Kahrs for everyone!

Last time I was there they didn't have any Glocks or Kahrs. My experience there was okay. It's a big box store so I don't expect much from them. The prices on most stuff was all MSRP and I could get it way cheaper on Amazon or by supporting my local gunshop (FS or Coin Gallery). It still sucks to see people losing jobs by stupid things like this.

 

[DavidC77]

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

I saw the TV add saying they were going to have this big kids thing there with BB Guns, Archery and Cook Outs.

As soon as I saw the fire thing I thought "OH one of the cooking fires went bad" , doesn't sound like that was it though .

You are simply spiteful. Prices suck for sure but the staff try to do their best in most cases.

 

[je25ff]

Must have been a Glock explosion. Oh wait..

 

[Dr. Brass]

News says they're open for business today.

 

[Business]

Burn Baby Burn; everytime I go there the service is horrible; no big loss

No kidding. The only think i enjoy in that place now is the light guns where ya shoot the stuffed animals

 

[MilitaryPolice]

Thank god that apparently the employees won't be losing anytime at work.

Now how about we start a petition to get cabelas to open a store in MA?

Storing Glocks is always touch and go without a blast bunker and Halon fire suppression systems, but unless BP stores them outside in the bushes, I think the Glocks are off the hook.

My New York son is on a volunteer fire department. They make runs every week during the summer for mulch fires. It's spontaneous combustion.

Yes, good news that they are re-opening.

Cabelas is a lost cause. They attempted to extort ~$50Million (IIRC) in concessions from Plainville and MA as a "condition" to opening in Plainville (I think it as along US 1 near I-495) and tried something similar in Hooksett, NH. When they couldn't get their way, they canceled their plans to expand into MA or NH. There was a thread on NES about the Plainville venture and I recall seeing stories about the Hooksett venture in the Manchester Leader a year or two ago.
Here's some links on those attempts:

I've never heard that. It would be interesting if that's what happened here.

I can't say there prices have been great on everything but I have got a few good deals ane they usually have what I'm looking for. Glad they could reopen today.

 

[robe0531]

my guess is a boat tech took a smoke break and chucked the butt in the mulch setting the fire happens almost eveyday on the fd i work for
