  • The call came in shortly after 12:30am for this mill on Privilege St. The mill has been vacant for several years. It was the old CNC Chemical building. The fire quickly engulfed the mill as a General Alarm was sounded, bringing in mutual aid from over a dozen departments.

    Hopefully there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, I haven't seen a fire like that since I was a kid growing up in a old mill town and watching the old factories burn.
    Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

    Nice efficiency, letting the total loss demolish itself and saving the property owner demolition costs. ladder nozzle did an awesome job with the water curtain keeping the fire contained. I hope there were no injuries.

    Matt, when you were getting close, it reminded me of the scene from gone with the wind where Rhett and Scarlett get outside of Aunt Pittypat's house and they see the fire from the warehouses near the depot, and Scarlett says"What-what's that" and Rhett says to her"our gallant lads have set Fire to the warehouses near the depot. There's enough ammunition in box cars down there to blow us to Tara! "Basically what he says to her right before the beginning of the burning of Atlanta scene. I'm sure you've seen Gone With The Wind before of course.

    That's one way to redevelop a parcel of real estate. One wonders if it was an accidental fire started by homeless people or something more nefarious. Reducing it to ashes is probably a better way to dispose of potentially hazardous residue left from when it was in business.

    It's crazy that all these mills catch on fire when they contain hazardous materials that cost big bucks to properly dispose of. Reports say the chemicals left behind were not hazardous wasteful, isn't that what the ppl of East palestine were told when they set a blaze vinyl chloride into the air strong carcinogen amongst other things
