The Timmins Fire Department responded to a structure fire at an industrial complex located on Laforest Rd. on Sunday, December 14, 2025 at approximately 4:00 a.m.
Fire crews encountered heavy smoke and flames coming from the rear of the building and initiated an aggressive attack in an effort to slow the spread of the fire; however, the fire had already entered the roof structure and rapidly spread throughout the building.
Water supply operations were supported by tanker shuttles from Airport Rd. All Timmins Fire Department tankers were deployed to maintain adequate water supply. No injuries were reported. The fire was brought under control at approximately 2:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The Timmins Fire Department and the Office of the Fire Marshal will be conducting the investigation with the assistance of Timmins Police Service.
