Burns Lake sawmill back in employer hands after fire

Worksafe BC is turning the site of the Babine sawmill fire in Burns Lake back over to the employer tomorrow.

This marks the end of the first phase of its investigation into the explosion and fire that killed two men on january 26th.      

The focus now will be on testing and analyzing the evidence gathered over the past three months, a task Worksafe says will take many more months.

So far, Worksafe is not saying what the suspected cause of the fire is.
