No damage to Logistec biofuel plant after wood pellet fire

In Canada, a large smoldering pile of wood pellets in a Logistec warehouse in Brunswick is now under control after the local fire department was called at about 10pm Monday night. The wood pellets in the center of the pile “spontaneously combusted” according to Fire Chief Randy Mobley who also told The Brunswick News that “There was no damage to the building, it was just smoldering pellets. It was all contained to the pellets, where it just started burning deep down inside. We kept water on it as they moved it with the front end loaders.”

Logistec workers used front end loaders to move the pellets away from where the smoldering centered so that firefighters could drench the center hot area with water.
