Dealership fire

NY 986

I just saw on the local news that Cazenovia Equipment at Cazenovia, NY had their building there suffer extensive fire damage. Hopefully no serious injuries were not incurred by employees or fire fighters. Sounds like something that started after the close of business yesterday. People needing services (parts and sales, too) will have to go through another location.
I am not in their trade territory but you never know when something like that will happen to disrupt business to your own dealer.
 
Darn double negative. It should read "Hopefully no serious injuries were incurred by employees or fire fighters." I missed the edit, sorry.
 
i think cazenovia has enough dealers anyway. they have about 11. idont like how they bought out widriks in lowville. it wasnt a bad place but now everybody is switcheing to caseih and nh. when ever you go there they never have what you need and they never want to help you with anything but there arent any toher jd dealers around. still good thing nobody was injured.
 
I hate when that happens.

About six years ago, a young local upstart, "Brian", put up a big two story brick building. (On the same site where I once had a body shop. My old building was razed to make room). Brian's building housed an eight bay service facility and a NAPA parts store, with storage on the second floor. When it was about two years old, it burned to the ground one Christmas Eve. The fire apparently started in the heating system.

As it happened, the local Ford dealer had just built a new facility out by the Interstate and the old Ford dealership building was available, itself really not that old a building. Brian leased it within a day or two and immediately got back in business. All of his business records were stored off site, and he was even able to buy a NAPA computer system that a store had just replaced. It all kinda fell into place.

Brian said at the time that he was going to rebuild on the location that burned, but he's since bought the local Chrysler Dodge dealership, operates it separate from the NAPA location, and there's no sign of rebuilding the place that burned. As of now, there's a big concrete slab on the site.

The main part is no one was hurt. Everything else always seems to work out.
 
they say if you build on the same foundation that the second building will burn down also. if any of you know the markems they had a barn fire about 2 yrs ago. they do custom chopping and stuff. they had a barn fire about 2 yrs ago and it burnt down 20yrs before that to the exact same day about an hour later than the first time. whos ever heard of that.
