Fire at the Factory
17.3.04------------------

 

Reuters news agency have reported that a fire damaged part of Ferrari's headquarters on Tuesday, burning several prototype cars being developed at the Maranello production site.

"We intervened at around 1 am (local time)," said an official from the local fire brigade. "A hangar in the experimental section containing several car prototypes was burning. The fire is now under control."

The fire official said firefighters were still at Maranello near Ferrari's test track site at Fiorano and that the cause of the fire was under investigation.

A Ferrari spokesman said nobody had been injured and work in most of the affected building had already been transferred to a new factory. He said the fire caused damage to some prototype cars and equipment.

Reuters made no mention of whether production cars or stocks of the new Owners' Clubs uniforms were affected.
