Police have not yet arrested or charged anyone in connection with a fire that tore through a poultry processing plant at Blumenort, Man., last fall.
The Oct. 7 fire brought a temporary halt to production at Granny’s Poultry and caused more than $3.5 million in damages. The blaze happened shortly before the Thanksgiving weekend.
Dozens of people have since been interviewed, including plant employees. The fire commissioner’s office has concluded that the fire was “quite probably” the result of arson, said Steinbach RCMP corp. Gary Forseid.
“It kept two policemen busy for almost three weeks just doing interviews,” Forseid said March 17.
The poultry plant was quickly restored to full production. The investigation of last fall’s fire remains open.
