More information has been released on last night’s fire at the Spruce Products mill in Swan River.
The fire was called in about 8:20 last night, Manitoba time, in a conveyor system and the incinerator building, but it took crews until 2:00 a.m to clear the scene.
The blaze was contained to one structure, and no other damage was reported.
Due to the size and complexity of the facility mutual aid was requested from the Bowsman, Minitonas and Birch River fire departments.
There is no estimate of loss, no injuries were reported, and the cause is under investigation.
Spruce Products produces premium lumber and wood products for the construction industry and the integrated wood products industry.
Some 150 people work at the mill.
