Combustible materials inside the facility made the fire more difficult to fight.
“We were forced to take a defensive tack with the amount of paint cans and propane tanks that were exploding,” Lt. Clayton Nickel of Delta Fire said.
“It was very hot. We were concerned… about the boats that were in behind the structure. Fortunately, the mill wasn’t involved at all.”
No one was injured and the cause of the fire is not considered to be suspicious.
