No one hurt badly--Thank God. Link: http://www.ktvz.com/news/23772491/detail.htmlBEND, Ore. -- A fire and apparent explosion was reported Wednesday afternoon at the Nosler Inc. bullet manufacturing plant in southwest Bend, prompting evacuation and closure of streets in the area. The fire was reported initially as a smoke report shortly after 2 p.m. at the facility at 107 SW Columbia St., which was evacuated. By 2:15 p.m., there were reports that an explosion had destroyed part of the building. Fire crews were reporting no flames visible and that all were out of the plant, though one person reportedly suffered smoke inhalation and a thorough search was planned, to be sure all got out. Bend Fire did a personnel callback to ensure adequate staffing and called in Redmond Fire for mutual aid to cover a station with an ambulance. We'll have more details as available. BMT

Probably somebody tried to achieve one of their book loads with a factory rifle...
The church is near, but the roads are icy. The pub is far away, but I will walk carefully.

Glad to hear there were no serious injuries. Hopefully they'll be back to normal in short order.

Let's pray for the boys in Bend. They're good folks and make a great product!

This is not good. Agree on the prayers.

I spoke with one of the fellas from Nosler, everyone is OK.
There was an explosion in the ballistics tunnel but it is unclear as to how or why this happened.
The Shooters Pro Shop is fine although it suffered minor smoke and water damage after an "official" opened up the door after it was secured by Nosler personnel.
