According to Director of Industrial Relations at Kimberly- Clark Daryl Payette, the fire start- ed by spontaneous combustion. He said that bark pile fires are not uncommon in mill operations. He said with a bark pile that size there is tremendous pressure. The extremely hot weather lately also contributed to the fire. "We always watch (for signs of bark pile fires)," said Payette. The fire started early on Tuesday, July 28. Fire crews had it controlled by 6 p.m. the same day. One reason Payette gave for the fire not spreading was the fact that there were no high winds. The K-C Fire Department, the township Fire Department and a K-C water-dropping helicopter were all working at the fire scene. Bark pile The fire started on a huge mound of bark pile Kimberly- Clark uses as fuel in its boilers. The pile itself measures approximately 200 feet long, 80 feet wide and 30 feet high. Industrial Relations Director Payette approximated the pile at one-half million cubic feet. continued on page 5 Par excellence Above is Terrace Bay girl Kelly Jean Moore who received the Canada Day Award of Excellence during the Canada Day cele- brations.

K-C Director of Industrial Relations Daryl Payette said the fire was started, interestingly enough, by spontaneous combustion.
