Nobody was injured when a small fire caused an explosion that ripped a hole in a wall at the Flavelle Sawmill in Port Moody, BC, early Tuesday morning.
PoMo Fire Chief Remo Faedo told The Tri-City News investigators are unsure what caused the blaze but said the flames heated up a nitrogen tank attached to the mill’s hydraulic system. Once the temperature reached a certain point, the tank exploded, setting off the sprinklers and damaging the metal cladding wall of one of the buildings.
