Randy Turbin, founder of T Square Woodworking has had a love affair with hardwoods for decades. Teamed with family members and long-term team members, he and his T Square team provides an “all hands on deck” approach to every project.

That philosophy has been tested. Tested by fire.

Officials with Orange County Fire Rescue are investigating after a fire broke out at T-Square Woodworking, Winter Park, Florida, business on Dec. 6. The fire happened at T-Square Woodworking located in the 7300 block of Aloma Avenue around 5:30 a.m.

There were no injuries, but the facility was destroyed. Turbin has pledged to rebuild the factory and keep his workers employed. 

Owner Randy Turbin spoke with FOX 35 and said he has been in Florida for over 30 years after moving from New York and is devastated as he had work projects planned for the holidays.

“It’s a nightmare is what it is,” Turbin told local news station FOX 35.

Turbin said he got the call at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday. He said flames were still coming out of the building when he arrived.

“I just couldn’t believe it was my building, you know,” Turbin said. “I mean I couldn’t believe it. We’re so careful about things. We shut power at night, we check everything we make sure everything is good.”
