They used to have operations in Ramona, but I *thought* (totally could be wrong) that they had moved most of the manufacturing and stuff up to WA.

This was posted on the MTBR board also and nobody's picking up at their offices. Here's the link to Ellsworth's website

As far as I know, they've just been evacuated.

Manufacturing facility is in Vancouver, WA, main office is still in Ramona. At this point, it'll probably be in WA.

Just talked with Mondo who spoke with Tony from Ellsworth. The area around the building has burned but the building is fine.

Tony's house and his family's house is on that property as well aside from just the administration offices. If you think about it say a prayer for them as well. I know he was just getting done finishing the final touches on his new home he built...... I talked to my friend that works at Ells, and they said they are not going to be open until later this week if they are lucky.
