Vandalism or an act of nature?
Civic Media's Maddie Schaefer has more on multiple fires destroying equipment for a controversial Northwoods pipeline.
An
Enbridge drill rig and support equipment were destroyed in a fire early Monday morning at a construction site along the company's Line 5 relocation project in northern Wisconsin.
According to the Ashland County Sheriff's Office, the fire was reported around 5.20 Monday morning near Wilson Road in the town of White River.
When deputies arrived, they found two boring machines that had been involved in the fire.
Enbridge says graffiti was also discovered at the site and has described the incident as vandalism.
This is the third
involving Enbridge property in northern Wisconsin over the past month.
On September 14th, a fire broke out at an Enbridge office building in Superior.
Just three days later, another fire damaged drilling equipment at a Line 5 construction site in Ashland County.
Enbridge says it takes these incidents seriously and will cooperate with authorities as they investigate and seek to hold those responsible accountable.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The Ashland County Sheriff's Office

It was a day of power at our state capital yesterday as opponents of two proposed high-voltage transmission lines running through Wisconsin gathered to have their voices heard.
The Group No.
765 Line organized the event with 267 people registered and visits to 52 legislative offices.
Organizers say they secured commitments from 25 Wisconsin lawmakers during the day of meetings at the Capitol.
Residents raised concerns about property values, farmland, and environmental impacts.
The Group wants changes to Wisconsin's Transmission Line approval laws, a review of regional grid expansion plan, and a public hearing on a utility application.
The proposed Maribel and Becky projects would span roughly 330 miles, stretching from southeastern Minnesota across southern Wisconsin to the Illinois border.
Developers say the lines are needed to improve grid reliability and meet growing electricity demand.
Organizers say lawmakers agreed to at least one request, but that doesn't necessarily mean they oppose the projects.
