@SurferWife  We found out right off the bat that no one was hurt. So, I don't think it's so "disgustingly selfish" to be concerned about orders and returns. But I do think there is no need to be so judgemental about people just airing their thoughts. 


 

@Pearlee  LOL. It's incredible that these words are coming out of your mouth.... You, who considers herself to be the board judge. 


@Kachina624  Still trolling me with your snark. You aren't in my head so you don't know what I "consider myself."  I hope for your sake you will be less obsessed with me in 2022.

Re: Fire at QVC’s NC distribution center

Read that the fire was so intense it overtook the fire suppression system...

 

Terrifying..

 

ALWAYS pay attention at work when they have fire safety drills ( if they have them).

 

And always know where the exits are when you're shopping.

 

Fire is a terrible way to die...

"Officials said Saturday afternoon that the building had a sprinkler system and it was working during the fire until the massive blaze “overtook” the sprinklers."

Re: Fire at QVC’s NC distribution center

I wonder if there were perfumes, toiletries, candles and other easily inflammable items there.  Message #30 (one of my three on this thread) states what I recently received from the Rocky Mount facility. 

 

For those who wonder, the word "inflammable" does not mean "not easily set on fire" but the opposite.

DO they send their computers from that location...the ones they and HSN have had dozens of shows about???

 

Or HALOS BOLTS and the other rechargeable items>

 

 I think most of these items have lithium batteries?

 

 

Lithium burns SUPER hot once it starts burning...that's why I don't think they can be in

passenger airplane cargo holds any longer...

 

 

Think how many times we heard..."We HAVE these sitting in our warehouses...."

I would think that facility would have TONS of flammable materials, with cardboard boxes being just one of them.

 

Very tragic. Relieved to hear there is no loss of life.

I can't see any announcement about this on the homepage ( Chromebook laptop)...

 

Not that it matters...

Re: Fire at QVC’s NC distribution center

NBC just showed the fire on the Evening News.
The fire looked incredibly scary.
I can not even imagine being a firefighter. Bless them 🙏
It is a miracle the 300 employees got out!
Prayers for the missing employee and the family.
This is just devastating.
