Crews battle fire at BiOrigin Specialty Products facility

ONTARIO (From news reports) -- Fire crews in St. Catharines battled an early morning blaze Thursday, Nov. 27, at a tissue and paper company in St. Catharines.

Emergency services arrived shortly before 1 a.m. to close roads at BiOrigin Specialty Products on Merritt Street near Maplecrest Avenue.

Aerial trucks were used to fight the fire, including on the rooftop area, that police say started in a paper machine when particles overheated and ignited. Crews worked against high winds for several hours to put it out.

Niagara police say that the fire is not considered suspicious and no injuries were reported.

Roads in the area have reopened and a few fire trucks remain at the scene.

The estimated cost of damages to the building and its interior is not yet known.
