There is an active fire at the Covered Bridge Chips Factory in Waterville, N.B.
The fire started around 5:30 p.m. Friday evening and numerous fire departments are still currently on scene, said the Mayor of nearby Hartland, Tracey DeMerchant.
“It’s a fairly big plant for an area the size of Hartland. The Albright family has had great success with their Covered Bridge Potato Chip Company and were really devastated for them.”
According to the company’s website, the business was launched by Matt and Ryan Albright in 2004 and has spread to markets all over North America.
The company grows 500 acres of dark, russet potatoes year round.
Social media posts showed the structure on Alwright Ct. fully engulfed Friday evening, but the Hartland Fire Department was unable to confirm the severity of the damage.
DeMerchant says the fire is a devastating loss for the community.
