Fire engulfed one of the Carter Holt Harvey’s sawdust processing rooms known as the bag house. The fire took hold at the same building in September, causing extensive damage.

Firefighters were called to Nannup Timber Processing after a blaze broke out in the drying kiln and storage shed.

Production at a timber mill in Western Australia’s south west continued relatively unaffected despite damage caused by an overnight fire at the site.
