Rising From the Ashes--Blast Factory Returns to Business
Updated 
12/08/04

  

On Friday, November 26th, Bob and Roseann Aeschliman got some news that no business owner wants.  Their business was on fire.  In 20 hours,  years of hard work was reduced to ashes.  While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, early reports indicate that the fire was the result of an unattended wood-burning stove, housed in an adjoining business.  Sixty firefighters were called out to fight the three-alarm fire, at times frustrated by problems with water pressure.  Despite their best efforts, the building was a total loss. 

With the fire now out, Blast Factory turns its attention to rebuilding its business.  Temporarily housed in a trailer, located across from the site of the old facility, Blast Factory will re-open the doors to its pro-shop on Friday, December 10th.  Once the insurance company completes its investigation, the folks at Blast Factory will begin the search for a more permanent location, hopefully re-opening a new paintball field.

In an effort to help the Blast Factory get back on its feet, the ICC is encouraging everyone to make a trip up to their temporary location.  Help them out by making a purchase, no matter how small.  No doubt you have a piece of equipment (lenses, pants, etc) that is in need of repair or replacement.  Your patronage will help to ensure that the Blast Factory remains an active part of Indiana paintball.
