Snow blamed for roof collapse of warehouse attached to McCain Foods Plover French Fry Factory

Heavy snow is believed to be the cause of a roof collapse at  McCain Foods Plover French Fry Factory.

Authorities say no one was hurt when a portion of the roof gave way at a warehouse connecting McCain Foods with AmeriCold Corporation in the Village of Plover Thursday. Employees were evacuated.

The collapsed warehouse is owned by AmeriCold Corporation.

Plover Fire Chief Tim Kluck says four to five feet of snow was piled up on the roof. Kluck says wood and steel beams collapsed under the weight of the snow.
