There is also a fire today at a NJ UPS facility.

So if any Freepers in the area have sent something UPS it might not be arriving any time soon, or even at all!

So, it’ll be no different than before the fire.

Do they have a gofundme page set up so that we can donate a little something to make up for their losses on any damaged jewelery?

“So, it’ll be no different than before the fire.”


Yeah, pretty much. However, not as bad as the US Postal service. I’ve quit sending anything via that incompetent affirmative-action hiring agency.

Tiffany & Co. is famous for its diamonds, after all.

***

Multi-colored fire diamonds, a common fixture on tanks and buildings, are a way of communicating risks quickly to firefighters, and other first responders. They can help determine a number of things like what precautions to take, procedures to follow, and equipment to use.

Not when I went to reply in the first place I wasn’t. :P

Fire breaks out — did they pay the 10% to the fire marshal on time ?
Inspections these days mean nothing.
