From Ken Rakusin:

“To give you an idea of the destruction around us: if you exit the home and look to the right, just four houses away, you’ll see complete devastation stretching for about a mile and a half. However, to the left, there’s minimal or no damage at all. It’s truly astonishing how random and unpredictable this fire has been.

“Our factory and offices are located 20+ miles away from the nearest fire, so they are completely safe and secure. All of our team members are also living a similar or greater distance from the fires, so everyone is out of harm’s way.

“We’re grateful to be safe and look forward to continuing business as usual.”
