Fire devastates Wolf River paper mill in Shawano
A blaze at the Wolf River Paper and Fibre company in Shawano Wisconsin caused about 100000 dollars in damage, with insurance of around 76000 dollars. The hot box in the ventilating system sparked the fire around ten noon Memorial Day, threatening adjacent mills but preventing damage. Two companion mills and the engine room were saved while the paper machinery burned. About 200 workers were employed across the three plants. Help from Clintonville arrived after the flames were under control. The mill sits near the Chicago and Northwestern tracks in the southwest part of the city.
