No one was hurt.

It really is lucky that no one got hurt considering the story mentions an explosion, concrete walls collapsing and the fire still burning 2 days later!
220, 221, whatever it takes!

Saw that yesterday. Crazy. Product can be replaced but people can’t so luckily nobody was hurt. That’s some thick black smoke

  Really surprising no one was injured.   With Fair season upon us, that is going to hurt them a bit getting spa's built depending on the Damage.

Yes it wil Jim. I’ve heard from some sources it did a number on mainly Sundance molds. Not sure if that’s accurate or not. They only have the one facility down there don’t they?

  As far as I know.  If they have two other lines available, suppose they could mix Sundance in.  That said if the actual molds are damaged, they are not so easily replaced or made in short notice..

Not that I believe it but the article in Aqua magazine quoted one of their big whigs as saying it should have a negligible effect on lead times.

No way. Pictures and videos I saw they will be down for a bit

Jacuzzi provided WhatsTheBest-HotTub.com with a statement regarding recent events in Mexico.
------------------

Statement from Jacuzzi on the Tijuana factory fire
A fire occurred in the rear of the company's Tijuana factory on Saturday, August 11 at approximately 2:00 p.m. local time. Thankfully, no injuries were reported on-site. Three employees conducting routine maintenance were present, evacuated and alerted first responders. The fire was contained by Saturday at approximately 6:00 p.m. Jacuzzi is working with outside experts to determine the cause of the fire. Some manufacturing equipment and supplies were damaged. The majority of the company's production capabilities remain intact. The front portion of the factory was inspected, granted a license to operate by the Tijuana Fire Department and was up and running again within two business days. Jacuzzi is grateful for the rapid action of the first responders and for the health and wellbeing of our local team.
