A box alarm brought firefighters to this massive mill complex shortly after 7:30 pm on Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 85 Fairmount St. Nothing was showing from the complex when companies arrived but that changed within a few minutes.

Smoke started to show from the rear of the complex and within a few minutes, flames spread so rapidly, firefighters had to exit the building and setup for what was going to be a long night and next couple of days.

A general alarm was called and brought in mutual aid companies from over 20 communities from Rhode Island and Massachusetts to battle this inferno.

2 firefighters were injured.
