BERLIN — The fire department was called shortly before 11 a.m. Wednesday to check out a possible building fire at White Mountain Lumber on the East Milan Road. Staff believed they had extinguished a fire around the chimney in the sawmill area but wanted the fire department to check it out to make sure.

With the ladder truck out of service, fire fighters responded with two fire engines. Arriving on the scene, the crew saw brown smoke coming from the edges of the roof and issued a general alarm. They also requested Lancaster Fire Department’s ladder truck, Gorham Rescue to the scene and an engine from Milan for station coverage.
