Fire at QVC’s NC distribution center

I just saw this on the We Love QVC Facebook page. "Huge fire" at their Rocky Mount Distribution center. The poster posted a screenshot from her local news and said no reports of injuries.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (WITN) - Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce confirms a fire at the QVC Distribution Center in Rocky Mount.

“We don’t know all the details, but do know that up to 2500 families will be affected by this tragedy,” they wrote in a Facebook post Saturday morning. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the employees of QVC and our brave first responders.”

The QVC Distribution Center located on QVC Boulevard, off Highway 64 in Rocky Mount.

Many WITN viewers have notified the station of the flames they see or posted photos and videos of the fire on social media, but officials have not yet released details or reported any injuries.

I'm glad no one was injured.

I agree, neither employees nor first responders were injured according to the reports so far, that's what's most important!

QVC has insurance for the contents and the building.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

It's good to hear that no one was injured.

But I sure am glad I don't have any outstanding orders with QVC right now.

I am so glad no one was hurt. How sad with these tragedies. I see that ShopHQ's warehouse in Bowling Green KY was hit by the tornadoes.

WOW....so sad this time of year for everyone affected...

Happy to hear no one was hurt, but this will be a huge setback for QVC.

Most of my orders come from Rocky Mount. Think of all the products destroyed by fire, smoke, and water to put the fire out that won't be available to send to customers. All those employees out of work.

A fire this big looks suspicious to me.
