Fire Balsa Warehouse - Lancaster TX?
My wife said she heard something about a Balsa fire in Lancaster TX - Lonestar Balsa comes to mind since I have bought from them in the past.
Has anyone heard? I hope all are safe.

This sucks...
Lancaster model airplane plant destroyed in fire
08:43 AM CST on Thursday, November 22, 2007
From Staff Reports
A Lancaster business facility that produces model airplanes was destroyed by fire late Wednesday afternoon.
The roughly 10,000-square-foot building of Wood to Go Inc., also known as Lone Star Models, 115 Industrial St. near Hutchins, caught fire shortly before 3 p.m.
No one was inside, city spokeswoman Ciciely Hickmon said. The cause of the fire had not been determined, but investigators believe it started in the rear of the building.
Firefighters from Waxahachie, Red Oak, Ovilla, DeSoto and Dallas helped battle the blaze, which took more than two hours to extinguish

They have some photos of the fire up on their website. They say that they aren't taking orders "temporarily", so hopefully they will be able to re-open.
