COCHRANE, Ont. — No injuries have been reported after a fire at a historic plywood mill over the weekend. A fire broke out at the Rockshield Engineered Wood Products plant in Cochrane on Saturday, Aug. 10. It employs about 6,000 people, 200 being Cochrane residents. “The Cochrane Fire Department, along with Expedition Helicopters, and fire crews from both Iroquois Falls and Kapuskasing worked to keep the main fire to the pond and chip pile area, and to areas of the roof for the most part,” wrote Mayor Peter Politis in a statement on August 12. “The mill itself remains intact and damages while worrisome, were minimized. This is great news as Rockshield is not only the largest employer in town but the magnitude of the incident had the potential to be quite devastating to the area.” Politis said the plant has injected over $90 million into the local economy since restarting in 2015.
