Drone video above from Arthur Roy taken during a mill fire yesterday (Friday) in Sanford, Maine. Additional video below from Mitch Michaud, Jordan McGee, Mary stanton and Erlon Bailey. Thanks to Dr. Squeak McQueen on twitter for the notification about the fire.
The fire at the building, known locally as the Stenton Trust Mill, was reported about 6:50 p.m. and spread quickly, with flames leaping from the windows and smoke filling downtown.
Assistant Fire Chief Steve Cutter said there were no reports of injuries, and the cause of the fire was under investigation. Investigators from the state Fire Marshal’s Office and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on hand.
One of the mill’s wall’s was bowing, and firefighters were concerned that it might collapse. They planned to be on the scene all night, hosing the mill with water from ladder trucks. They also were concerned the fire might spread to an adjacent mill building, which also was vacant, and planned to use a drone to look for hot spots.
