Workers at a Saskatoon flour mill had to evacuate the building after a fire Monday afternoon.
The blaze ignited in a milling machine used to grind flour at Horizon Milling on 33rd Street just after 4 p.m.
Firefighters had to dismantle the machine in order to extinguish the blaze. The fine dust present in the mill also required precautions to minimize the possibility of explosion, said a news release from Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services.
The fire was brought under control shortly after 6 p.m.
One firefighter was examined on scene by medical personnel for heat exhaustion.
A damage estimate is not available.
