Fire causes AU$2m damage to WA millThe new owner of a South West timber mill says a fire that raced through the mill causing AU$2m damage is a "body blow". Auswest Timbers bought and reopened the Deanmill Jarrah mill, near Manjimup, WA earlier this year after timber giant Gunns shut the near 100-year-old operation in February 2011, devastating the local community. The mill could be closed for at least six weeks. The mill's 42 workers have been stood down. It is hoped most will be redeployed at Auswest Timber's Pemberton operations.Source: The West Australian |
