The Normpac fire is the second at the cardboard plant in seven months. |
Fire apparatus from the Niagara Falls Fire Department is being assisted by a tanker from Wolcottsville, and crews from Cambria, South Wilson, Lewiston 2, Sanborn, Youngstown, Frontier and Niagara Active; while crews from Wrights Corners, Grand Island, Pekin, Ransomville, and Lewiston 1 were called to standby at other local departments.
The cardboard fire, which was reported to the Niagara Falls Fire Department at about 2:20 p.m., was reportedly attended to much more quickly than one that occurred on Sept. 20. That blaze burned for days, reigniting numerous times due to high winds.
There have not been any reported injuries and there has been no report on expectations of when the fire might be contained.

WOLCOTTSVILLE — Niagara County Sheriff's deputies and Wolcottsville Fire Department personnel responded to the 9100 block of Akron Road tonight due to a collapsed barn.
According to the NCSO report, the 100-year-old barn "collapsed under the weight of a large amount of snow and ice on the roof." The collapse occurred around 8:30 p.m.
The barn, which the owner had not entered in four or five years, was valued at $10,000, including the contents.
The Wolcottsville Fire Department responded to clear the debris from the roadway. National Grid responded to remove a power line between the residence and the collapsed barn. No one was injured in the collapse.
The Akron Road structure was not alone in its snowy demise. A $20,000 pavilion at the Bergholz Fire Co. in Wheatfield collapsed due to the heavy mix of rain and snow tonight. There was no one in or around the Pavilion when it collapsed around 9:08 p.m. The Pavilion did not cause any other damage to surrounding structures.

NIAGARA FALLS — A fire this afternoon at Norampac Industries and Greenpac Mill facilities on Packard Road and Royal Avenue has grown so large, it has required the attention of fire departments as far away as Genesee County, including the East Niagara fire companies of Wolcottsville and Barker.
The blaze, which started around 2:15 p.m., has been exacerbated by today's high winds, which has also propelled the smoke plume from the fire northeast into Lake Ontario, cutting a swath through the Newfane and Olcott areas.
More assistance continues to be called in from other departments in and outside of Niagara County more than seven hours after the fire started. So far, assistance or a call to stand by has been made to for departments in Wheatfield, Lewiston, Town of Niagara, Sanborn, Barker, Akron, Alabama, and the Niagara Falls air base.
The fire started when cardboard bales, which the companies make, caught fire. It has since spread "out of control," according to the Niagara Falls Fire Dept.
