Prince George, B.C. – A fire this hour at the former Winton Global planer mill.

There    are witnesses suggesting the fire is contained to the roof of the building.

Two fire trucks, two ambulances, and police are on scene.  There are no reports of any   injuries.

The site has not been  active for  several years.

An auction had been held inside the  mill recently,  and a clean up  crew had been on scene.

A member of the clean  up crew  said the wood chipper room  went up in flames, but they were able to douse the flames and to  put of the fire completely they had to rip out a wall.

Although  there  is no  firm cause for this fire,  there is speculation  some grindings  on the floor may have  sparked.

Anyone know what the deal with this place is and why security is so tight there still? I pulled over into there a month or so back just to answer a phone call and within minutes security was there telling me I was trespassing and had to leave immediately.

Site of the new medical marijuana grow op. Very hush hush. At least that’s what Eagleone, Palopu and others “in the know” have told me ;-)
