Fire crews called to Masterfeeds in Regina's industrial area

A fire at Masterfeeds in Regina looks like a repeat of a fire in the same building in April last year.

Regina Fire Marshall Randy Ryba says the blaze was contained to one piece of machinery in the basement, but it could have been a lot worse.

“Dust can be very explosive,” said Ryba.

“In this particular instance, there was no threat.”

He says this fire started in the same area as the first fire in April 2014.

Investigators will be looking into the cause once the area cools off enough to be safe.
