Default Any news on fire threatening SBR

Just saw on the channel ten website.

"Fire emergency - Championship winning Stone Brothers V8 Supercar team threatened by a Yatal factory inferno."


Anyone else got any more news on this.

SBR were very lucky with only few puddles of water to mop up. Here are some pictures of the fire.
