Fire shuts down Sonoco
A fire in one of the silos at Sonoco Product company’s wood reels plant in Hartselle caused substantial damage in the C&C Department Tuesday morning and forced a temporary shutdown in that part of the plant.
Fire Steve Steve Shelton said his department responded to a 911 call at about 8:15 a.m. and was able to confine the fire to a small operating area in the plant.
A company employee said he expected the department to be down for a couple of days while electricity are being restored.
