COCHRAN, Alberta — A fire broke out at West Fraser Cochrane on Wednesday evening, prompting a swift response from Cochrane Fire Services. According to Fire Chief Shawn Polley, several calls came in reporting a vehicle fire in the company’s mulch lot. …”The staff at West Fraser did a great job moving the vehicle to an open area, giving fire crews good access and preventing the fire from spreading to nearby mulch or a log deck.” The on-duty crew quickly contained the blaze using a single hose line, and a water tender was brought in to ensure an adequate water supply. Thanks to the rapid response, the fire was fully suppressed within an hour. While the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, Polley noted that equipment failure may have been a factor.
