He added that some of the plant’s operation was already back running Monday afternoon. Before the battalion chief arrived at the fire, he called a second alarm, Radzak said. It was an appropriate call given the conditions and the size of the structure, he said. “We cancelled the second alarm in 15 minutes,” he said Tuesday. Work at the plant has been increasing with the run on bathroom tissue as a response to the coronavirus pandemic. In a story earlier this month, the Herald reported that the Resolute Tissue was running all day and night. Bob Visscher, the general manager of the facility, said they were working hard to keep up with the demand. Still, safety has been a key part of the company’s suc- cess, Visscher said at the time. The Sanford plant has received thousands of dol- lars from its parent compa- ny in reward for safety mile- stones. That money is then donated to charities.
