BLADEN COUNTY -- A Bladen County plant is back in operation after a devastating fire earlier this week.

Flames tore through the J.C . Pallet Company in Bladenboro on late Monday night.

The company's warehouse was destroyed but on Tuesday morning, the 17 employees were back on the job without electricity.

Power was restored to the site on Thursday so the plant is fully functional again.

The J.C. Pallet company suffered a similar fire 10 years ago, and employees say they used what they learned after that fire to keep production going this week.
