Northern Lite - FIRE

As a daily lurker on this site, thought I'd pass on some disturbing news. My daughter in law is the Office Mgr for Northern lite and just texted me that the Factory burned down over night. Not sure of any more details.

  • That is very bad news form an NL owner. I have heard of a few people that have new ones on order. I'm sure they are going to be very disappointed. Also for all the workers there that are going to be out of work. I sure hope they rebuild in fact it would be nice if they relocated to an area where they have a little more room and a little better access. When we visited there last year it seems that they were kind of short on space. When you leave the factory and drove to the main road all you could do is turn right as the road is so busy you would never be able to turn to the left as it is just a steady stream of vehicles.

    If they lost all of their forms for the campers it is going to take a long time to rebuild all of the forms and get back into production again if they do.

    Indeed, very sad news. Now it moves into the uncertain state of economics, insurance, and all that mess in making a decision to reopen.

    Hoping for the best.
  • I found a link to the fire. Apparently it sounds like the fire resulted in a total loss. Very sad.
