Source Embroidery was hit pretty hard by the July 1 flood and got hit again today when the FirstOnSite van blew up and caught fire outside the store while it was being used to clean up the basement.
Fields and the Post Office are closed due to some minor smoke damage and a potentially serious situation was avoided thanks to the quick work of the fire crews. The flames were high enough that it was coming up underneath the awning of the building.
FirstOnSite needs to be commended big time as we've been nothing short of impressed with their work, both as far as ethic and quality is concerned. They tore apart the basement to begin the reconstruction midweek and had everything done by Saturday.
The process now is a thorough disinfectant so that we can begin getting the basement put back together. Again, full credit to FirstOnSite as the British Columbia company had another specialty van here in front of the store within minutes of the burnt vehicle getting towed away. Wow. The crew, while shaken, is unwavered and have gone back to work.
I have a message for a really rude lady who offered some of Saskatchewan's worst hospitality to the FirstOnSite worker who is manning the van outside: Mind your own P's and Q's. A snobby woman walked up to the worker and asked what was going on. After an explanation was given, the worker was, pretty much, told to scram because Saskatchewan companies are the ones that should be getting all the work and not ones from outside the province. Well, lady.....if it weren't for the excellent work of people like FirstOnSite, Yorkton would be in far worse shape than it is. The last thing we need is some cowboy from WhoKnowsWhere, Saskatchewan deciding he's going to open up a disaster restoration business and do sloppy work and take everyone's money. The reality is that Restorex can only do so much and they are quite busy already. I don't think anyone credible in Saskatchewan is missing out on anything.
