Honsen-Pocific Mill Fire-Domoged

Hansen-Pacific's sawmill at Fortuna, Calif., rvas badly damaged by fire on luly 25. Several electric motors, the trim saw, edger, conveyors, part of the mill building and the green chain were destroyed. The head rig was not damaged.

The Hansen-Pacific Lumber Co. went to Fortuna in 1951 when they purchased the mill and timber of the McCready Lumber Co. They had operated continuously since 'that time and were turning out about 55,000 board feet a day. They had operated the sawmill on two shifts, the planing mill on one shift and employed 85 people. Just three days before the fire, Hansen-Pacific started construction of a new mill which they hope to have in operation by December 15 of this year. Their new mill will cost in the neighborhood of $300,000, will be all electric and will feature a nine-foot band saw. They estimhte that the new mill will turn out 100,000 board feet per shift, the sawmill running one shift and their planing mill operating' two shifts. The completed mill will cover 23 acres.

As the planing mill was not damaged by the fire, it will continue to operate; however, it is not known whether the company will rebuild the damaged sawmill, or try to rush completion of the new mill.
