Canada (B.C): Major fire at Merom Farms Ltd. in Abbotsford

Last week a large fire took place at bell pepper grower Merom Farms in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The fire at the bell pepper grower started in a front loader for bark mulch just after 2:20 p.m. on Thursday afternoon.

"It started off as a loader tractor that caught fire in the middle of that bark mulch material," said assistant fire chief Craig Bird to abbynews.com. The loader tractor caught on fire, which caught the bark mulch on fire, which caught the structure on fire."

The bark mulch is used as a heat source for the greenhouse operation. Bird said there were about 70 firefighters at the scene.
