Mill Fire

Minimal damage is being reported from a weekend fire at AbitibiBowater's mill in Fort Frances.

It started shortly after midnight Sunday in the area of the paper machines.

Mill staff and the mill's sprinkler system helped contained the blaze by the time firefighters with the Fort Frances Fire and Rescue Service arrived on scene.

Officials says the fire was likely started by an overheated bearing.
