St. Albert Looks To Rebuild After Cheese Factory Fire

People in the small community of St. Albert, Ont., say they will work to rebuild the St. Albert cheese co-operative, after a raging fire Sunday destroyed much of the factory.

A landmark in the tiny community of 500 about 45 minutes east of Ottawa, the factory had been a major employer in the region since its founding in 1894.

On Sunday morning a fire broke out, forcing workers to flee. It quickly spread through the older of two buildings, and at its height smoke was visible from 15 kilometres away.

Nine fire departments from communities in the surrounding area worked to control the blaze.
