Nobody hurt but quite a bit of damage after fire broke out at Irving Paper on Bayside Drive last yesterday afternoon.
Crews arrived just after five to find thick black smoke and flames coming from the roof area of the thermal mechanical pulping area.
The wind and thick tar on the roof played havoc in trying to smother the flames.
Crews were trying to cover an area of 6400 square feet and the ladder truck couldn't reach the main source of the flame.
Deputy Chief Mark Gillan says the emergency response team at the mill has been a huge help.
In a news release, J.D. Irving says the mill was not evacuated and one person was taken to the Regional to get looked over for a sore throat.
Production at the mill is expected to resume just after midnight. Just last week, there was a fire on the roof at the Irving Tissue Mill on the West Side.
