Prince George, B.C.- A fire this morning at Intercontinental Pulp in Prince George. The fire started in the chip screening area, much the same area as was hit by fire at P.G. Pulp in January of 2008.
Reports say the fire was noted just around 10:00 this morning. Workers at the mill tell Opinion 250 the fire was dealt with quickly and crews are in the mop-up stage.
Neither the cause nor the extent of damage  are available at this time.

Not only financial combustion, but also stupid workers, plant owners, etc. etc. Should they not know better about how to prevent such fires? I am sure many of our posters on here would know how to prevent such fires.

Does anyone know just how many fires Canfor has had in the last three years?
I can't even keep track of them all.
I bet their insurance provider knows.

I put the words canfor and fires in quotation marks into google and get two hits.

wihtout quotation marks 22,700+

Whether searching this site or the entire internet, whether in quotation marks or not, the number of hits really does not relate to the number of fires Canfor had.

A completely differenet kind of search has to be done to even gain a semblance of the information really wanted.
