There was a fire yesterday morning at the old Britex Building west of Bridgetown yesterday.

The fire in the fuel pellet and fire log plant was confined to the shipping area.  Several pallets of fire logs were ablaze when an employee arrived for work and pulled a couple of propane tanks out of the building before fire fighters got there.

Production equipment was not damaged.  Nobody was hurt.
