Our focus now is in trying to protect the west side of the building,” Burlington fire chief David Lazenby said around 9 p.m. at the scene. Firefighters from three municipal departments were called to Paletta International Corporation near Appleby Line and the QEW after the blaze broke out around 4:10 p.m.A massive fire has destroyed at least half of the Paletta meat-processing plant in Burlington. All workers that were in the large building at 4480 Paletta Court when the fire started made it out without injury. Police closed Toronto-bound ramps of the QEW at Appleby Line for the operation. “Crews did a great job of working in very challenging conditions.”On Twitter, Burlington firefighters thanked “brothers and sisters from neighbouring cities” for their help.
