A large pile of logs at the Meadow Lake Mechanical Pulp (MLMP) yard is on fire.

Residents started posting videos and pictures of the incident on social media around noon on Monday. The pulp mill is located at the junction of Highway 55 and 903.

The SPSA says it has sent out an emergency response team and is helping with aircraft and equipment.

One driver said he saw big plumes of black smoke while he was heading in the mill’s direction and described the flames as being 20 to 30 feet high.

The Meadow Lake Fire Department is on scene and unable to provide any details while actioning the blaze.
