Coincidentally, Pandora playing at my desk this moment was "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purpole. How ironic!

Hi Julie,

I'm so sorry that you have experienced this, I know what you must be going through, because back in 1990 we experienced a fire out on the production floor. It occurred late Saturday night/ early Sunday morning. We had worked that Saturday and the inline aqueous cleaner we had was left on. We think some safety sensor had failed and allowed the heaters to stay powered even though the water had boiled out of the tanks, and they wound melting the cleaner down and setting it on fire:

There were about 6-8 sprinkler heads that were set off and they flooded the production floor and the offices at the front of the building. We had product at various stages of WIP and we had to salvage as much as we could.
First we informed our customers of the fire, and what product might be affected. We still had our inline Detrex freon cleaner and we sent everything through the cleaner. Assemblies that we had a electrical test for were tested, and when all was said and done we only lost the boards that were sitting in tilt racks next to the cleaner. We had tons of work cleaning everything else up (microscopes, workstations, pick and place equipment, etc., etc...) including calling a salvage company to come in and clean up the production floor and office spaces after the sprinkler flooding. But you know, we got it done. We were back building boards the following Thursday....
