MARCH 11, 2015

BEAUHARNOIS, MONTREAL

Traffic is being detoured off Highway 132 down to Highway 30.

The fire broke out at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and has produced a thick plume of smoke that can be seen several kilometres away.  The plant recycles mostly paper and wood material.

The local fire department appealed to neighboring municipalities for assistance to battle the blaze which was fanned by strong winds.

There was no indication of any injuries as no staff were in the building when the fire began.
