A fire that began early on the morning of Jan. 21 at a Lumber Liquidators facility in Toano, Va., did not result in injury to any workers, according to The Virginia Gazette.
The lumber processing equipment caught fire around midnight while people were working in the plant. The workers were evacuated and the fire department successfully extinguished the fire within five minutes.
The fire did not spread to the sawdust machinery, but the processing equipment was “significantly damaged,” Bill Apperson, a spokesperson for the James City Bruton Volunteer Fire Department, told The Virginia Gazette.
This is the second fire at a Lumber Liquidators facility in seven months. In July, a dust handling unit caught fire.
