Hopefully they'll be back in business soon.
If anyone (Bruce?) hears anything about Roger needing help , maybe they could start a new thread.
It would be a great jesture if a bunch of us could get together and do something to help.
My prayers for Roger and staff. Glad there were no injuries, assuming the firefighters were also ok.

+1 to this. I'm in if help is needed!

In 2008, with your help, I launched a “Stop the Pork” campaign to encourage Americans to sign an online petition showing Congress the broad disdain for wasteful spending and egregious earmarks. In January, 2009, I delivered a petition with nearly 7,000 signatures to Speaker Pelosi and Republican Leader John Boehner asking them to put an end to the wasteful earmarking process.
In November, 2010, I was pleased to lead the charge for a two-year ban on earmarks. According to the non-partisan Citizens Against Government Waste organization, 9,129 earmarked projects were inserted into the 2010 spending bills, costing the American taxpayer more than $16.5 billion.
Nearly four years ago, I was one of a handful of Members of Congress who took a stand by refusing to request earmarks. Instead, I pushed for a system that establishes spending priorities based on a project’s merit – demonstrating to the American people that he was serious about reducing wasteful pork-barrel spending and reforming the way Washington spends their money.
While we sent a clear message by banning earmarks, our work has just begun.

I know there are sprinkler heads where you are standing while shooting. I guess I never noticed if the have sprinkler heads down range. I can't see how they could. Alls it would take is for one of the guys that bounce rounds off the ceiling and walls to hit a sprink head and there would be one hell of a mess.

That's a good point, but the smoke definitely had a burned rubber smell to it.
