Doesn't appear that bad, they're cleaning up fast.
Problem is going to be getting replacement machines today I guess with the part shortages.

I can't really tell what kind of machine burst into flames.

What the HECK did they have in there that could support such a big fire?  Is it all the prepreg that went up?  Solvents?  or what?

Pity the fire didn't do for the photo panels, that continuously flick left and right, on that page.

The TL;DR is that the machines for HASL and hard gold fingers burned to death, the rest is back up and running.
