At around 10:30 this morning, the Terrace Fire Department received a call informing them that a fire had broken out at the Skeena Sawmills.
It was a log loader that was undergoing routine diesel work that caught on fire, although the Fire Department did not go into anymore detail on what exactly happened to cause the blaze.
6 firefighters and 2 engines were dispatched to the scene and they were only on site for about an hour before the fire was extinguished.
Luckily, no injuries were reported and the fire did not spread at all so the loader was the only piece of equipment that sustained any damage.
The Sawmills are also back to being operational.
