NEWFOUNDLAND — About 100 Sexton Lumber employees have been laid off following a fire that shut down the Bloomfield sawmill nearly two weeks ago, according to owner Kevin Sexton. The Newfoundland and Labrador Forestry Industry Association announced that the province’s biggest sawmill was shut down until further notice. Sexton hopes repairs will be completed in about three weeks. He said the fire occurred on Oct. 29 in the facility’s boiler room while wood was drying out. A worker was going through his nightly routine when he noticed smoke bellowing out of the exhaust fans. …The forestry industry association said one employee was injured while helping firefighters get to the scene, but is recovering well. An investigation into the fire is underway.
