Big Blaze at Port Pirie Fire Rages Through Milling Complex
A major fire at the Adelaide Milling Company mill and office in Port Pirie on Monday afternoon caused extensive damage. The blaze threatened adjacent storage sheds and engine houses, with firefighters led by Mr E W Cook working to save the storage shed and its contents as embers swept across roofs and wharves. The incident disrupted power and water supplies and highlighted limited local fire facilities, but the storage shed and most machinery survived with minimal damage to flour stocks and a later relief in fuel storage.
