Firefighters with SJRFD on scene of a fire at Country Ribbon Inc. Feed Mill in Mount Pearl. Firefighters with St.
John’s Regional Fire Department spent close to ten hours at the scene of a late-night fire in Mount Pearl.
When fire crews arrived on the scene, shortly before 9:30 p.m., and opened an access hatch at the side of the silo there was considerable fire inside. Firefighters immediately started pouring water inside to douse the flames. Twenty firefighters, from several stations, attended the scene.
Police were forced to close a portion of Topsail Road, just east of the Kenmount Road overpass, as crews needed a fire hydrant across the street. Firefighters were on the scene until 7:00 a.m. the following morning. With limited access points through which to spray water, and the volume of material involved, firefighters were unable to completely extinguish the smouldering material.
