Quesnel River Pulp had fire on the factory roof, Monday afternoon. The pulp operation located at 1000 Finning Road was the scene of a fire alarm at about 3:30 p.m., Apr. 1. More than a dozen personnel from Quesnel Fire Department rushed to the large structure. Their concentration was on at least three noticeable hotspots on the roof. A ladder truck, rescue vehicle and tender (water tanker) were among the fire vehicles that rolled from a QFD firehall. More volunteer firefighters from the department were arriving 90 minutes after the first alarm, still needed after they finished their workday. Quesnel River Pulp is owned by Atlas Holdings of Alberta, operated by Millar Western Forest Products. It was, until recently, owned by West Fraser, but the sale was announced in September. [END]
