A fire broke out Saturday at a Maine paper mill, causing smoke but no injuries, following a deadly gas leak there just weeks earlier.
A fire erupted Saturday morning at the Woodland Pulp LLC paper mill in Baileyville, Maine, around 11:45 a.m., starting in a wall above an ash hopper storing wood byproduct ash.
Local firefighters from Baileyville, Calais, and Princeton responded, extinguishing the blaze within an hour.
The fire produced significant smoke but minimal flames and damage, with no injuries reported.
Mill officials said access was difficult, but the fire was quickly contained.
Similar incidents occur a few times yearly at such mills.
The site had recently experienced a deadly gas leak in late January that killed two workers and injured others, prompting federal safety investigations.
The cause of the Saturday fire remains unknown.
