MERRITT, B.C. — Merritt Fire Rescue responded to a fire at the Tolko sawmill around 1:30 Saturday afternoon.
Fire Chief Dave Tompkinson says a hydraulic oil tank was on fire.
“Prior to firefighters arriving, the sprinkler system had activated. The sawmill employees had actioned the fire with extinguishers and a hose line,” says Tompkinson.
The fire was inside the the plant, and spread to some machinery above.
