* Says facility to be fully operational within 10 days

Nov 9 (Reuters) - Canada's Stella-Jones Inc (SJ.TO) said a fire on its New Westminster, British Columbia, facility on Friday led to a temporary shutdown of two wood treating cylinders.

The facility is expected to be fully operational within ten days and there will be no adverse affect on deliveries to any customers, the company said in a statement.

Quebec-based Stella-Jones, which makes industrial pressure treated wood products, said the plant produces utility poles, pilings and timbers for the electrical utility and railway market sectors.

Shares of Stella-Jones fell 33 Canadian cents to C$22.17 Monday morning on the Toronto Stock Exchange. (Reporting by R. Manikandan in Bangalore; Editing by Ratul Ray Chaudhuri)
