Almost two weeks after an Aug. 16 blaze displaced five downtown businesses in Sylva, efforts to recover economically – and emotionally – are well underway.
"...Backstreet Airsoft also is being rebuilt. Like Saxon, owner Jeff Moss didn’t have insurance in place at the time of the fire. Moss’ business is largely devoted to selling replica firearms that fire bb’s; sort of like paint guns, he said, but they aren’t.
He said he wouldn’t know whether the electronic firearms sustained damage until he runs field tests. The radio and other communication equipment in his inventory were beneath an area where water used to fight the fire drained, so that part of his stock is likely ruined.
Until the building is ready for occupancy, Moss plans to bring in some cash by working as a vendor at an airsoft field in Penrose...."
