Fire in Malabrigo Plant - - Not Good!

Just received the following email from Malaybrigo:

"Last night, on May 29, 2008, the building where we have our mill in caught fire. The fire started in the floor below us and was bravely contained by the fire department of Montevideo . They were still fighting the flames this morning.

Even though our floor did not catch fire, it seems there is substantial damage on our mill and offices caused by the soot and smoke. We do not really know as the firefighters say that we cannot get into the building at least until tomorrow, if we can get in at all, as there is considerable structural damage.

As you may understand all deliveries are stopped until further notice, we hope we can resume our dyeing activities next week, probably in another location, but we will not know anything until we get inside the building.

We thank you for your continuing support and we hope to be up and running soon."

    Malabrigo is located in Uruguay. I've been checking the local newspapers but haven't found any more info.
