Carrot River Co-op storage shed catches fire, likely complete loss
One of Carrot River Co-ops major storage units caught fire on Thursday, Sept. 12.
According to RCMP, the fire started in an electrical box and it is not suspicious in nature.
Co-op General Manager Ward Kewley said some local residents spotted the fire in the about 80-foot by 40- foot unit just after 8 p.m. and called the department. Kewley said the storage shed is likely a complete loss, but they do have an adjustor coming on Monday.
“More importantly, nobody hurt,” Kewley told northeastNOW. “The fire department was really, really prompt and did a heck of a job preventing it from going anywhere else.”
