Fire crews battled a fire in the north end of Swan River last night.

Around 8:15, the Swan River Fire Department was dispatched to a fire at Spruce Products Ltd.

When they arrived, crews found the fire involved a conveyor system and incinerator building.

Mutual aid calls were sent out to the Bowsman, Minitonas and Birch River fire departments because of the size and complexity of the facility.

A quick knockdown by first on scene crews contained the fire to the single structure and no other damaged was sustained at the mill. 

The departments cleared the scene around 2 a.m.

There aren't any damage estimates, or injuries reported and the cause remains under investigation.
