Paper machine catches fire at Vancouver Island mill (saanichnews.com)

No one was hurt after a fire erupted Monday morning, Jan. 4, 2021, in one of the paper machines at Paper Excellence Canada in Port Alberni.

“We had a paper fire on the No. 4 paper machine in the dryer section,” Paper Excellence Canada Alberni division general manager Marc Bodin confirmed.

Bodin said preliminary checks indicate damage was not extensive. “It looks like there was minimal damage to the machine itself.”

The No. 5 machine remains in production.

Bodin said he doesn’t anticipate Monday’s fire affecting the Alberni plant’s overall production. “We’re not expecting any significant down time or loss of production as a result,” he said.
