Emergency responders from multiple towns in and around Waldo County are responding to a fire and possible explosion at the Robbins Lumber mill in Searsmont.
A “mass casualty” response is underway, though company officials told WMTW that no employees were injured, and emergency officials have not been able to provide confirmation about injuries.
Route 131 has been closed by police at the intersection of School Street and Ghent Road. A Bangor Daily News reporter at the scene saw a large column of black smoke filling the sky above the mill.
