Fire damages cedar mill in Mission

MISSION (NEWS 1130) – Fire has caused extensive damage to a cedar mill in Mission.

Crews arrived at Mission Shake & Shingles Ltd. about 5:30 p.m. Saturday to find the main building engulfed.

Mission fire chief Dale Unrau says the cause of the fire is not believed to be suspicious.

“No workers were in the mill at the time of the fire and we have a fire investigation crew on site and WorkSafe BC looking at determining the cause of the fire,” he says.

“The main mill for this cedar shake mill was substantially damaged and it’s probably going to be several months before they’re back up and running again.”

He says it’s likely to be several months before the mill is back up and running.
