Joanl   12 #401 Posted July 17, 2006 I have to say, I have followed this with great interest from the first photo that was sent to me. I am glad that no-one was injured or worse ,but feel for them now, regarding their jobs. I also have to say what brilliant photos and video clips have been posted on here. Absolutely brilliant really and congratulations to all that have contributed. I have downloaded photobucket.....but now I have no idea what I am supposed to do with it. doh........

Unregistered   10 #402 Posted July 17, 2006 Some Fletchers Drivers were told to return their vehicles to the transport yard this morning (the yard furthest from the Gate Inn)  One said that once in that yard, you would hardly know that there had been a fire.  The fire seems to have affected only one side of the factory (that next to The Gate Inn) although any smoke damage to other parts cannot be assessed yet.  All power has been lost - so the freezer plant is down.
