An overnight blaze destroyed two kilns at Kenora Forest Products, sending flames shooting into the air where they could be seen from kilometres away.

Emergency crews were called to the lumber company just after midnight Saturday morning. Kenora Fire Chief Todd Skene told a Kenora Radio station two drying kilns were engulfed in flames when they arrived. No one was hurt.

The plant manager for Kenora Forest Products told CBC he hoped to have more information later Saturday afternoon.

There was no immediate word on a cause or a damage estimate.
