LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. Crews have started clearing away twisted metal and debris at the Green Prairie International plant, while nearby firefighters continue to hose down hot spots among the ruined storage building. “When this happens it’s kind of devastating,” said owner and company President John Van Hierden. Lethbridge and Coaldale fire departments were called to the company location 10 kilometers east of Lethbridge shortly after 7 p.m. on Wednesday June 30. The 58,000 sq. foot warehouse was already engulfed in flame, but fire crews, working with company employees, managed to keep the fire from spreading to neighbouring buildings. Firefighting operations continued throughout Canada Day, and a crew was still on hand Friday, using an aerial ladder truck to extinguish hot spots on the west side of the collapsed building.
