Fire at Canadian Feed Mill Ruled Accidental

Dentinger Feed and Seed in Vale, Ontario, is a total loss

The cause of a fire that destroyed Dentinger Feed and Seed’s historic mill in Vale, Ontario, on July 28 is listed as accidental/undetermined.

“It appears the fire started high,” wrote Deputy State Fire Marshal Casey Kump, in an email to the Argus Observer. “It was first witnessed up around some structural beams near the product bins to the east side of the business. Due to the weight of equipment and materials that fell into this area, we were unable to rule items out.”

Vale Fire Chief Jess Tolman estimated 20 tons of milling equipment fell on top of grain inside the mill during the blaze.

While the feed mill is a complete loss, there were no injuries or fatalities.
