PORT MOODY, BC – Firefighters were battling a blaze at a sawmill on Monday afternoon in Port Moody, B.C.
The Port Moody Fire Department asked people on Twitter to avoid an area around the Flavelle Sawmill Co. Ltd.
Earlier Monday, RCMP credited the quick action of employees and management at a sawmill in Vanderhoof for quickly extinguishing a small fire.
Mounties say there were no serious injuries at the Canfor Plateau Mill west of Vanderhoof.
Police say the fire was started by a welding torch that was being operated during routine maintenance at the mill.
WorkSafeBC and the Mounties were investigating.
