BENNINGTON â Firefighters from Bennington and surrounding communities battled a stubborn, smoldering blaze late Wednesday afternoon in a section of the former CTC Vermont Photo Lab building at 254 Benmont Ave.
Trucks continued to pour water into the smoldering building after 5 p.m., as thick black smoke periodically rolled from the roof and windows of the structure.
Firefighters had stretched hoses from the site into the Roaring Branch at Hunt Street and into the Walloomsac off Leonard Street at opposite ends of the fire scene.
Traffic was temporarily blocked off from the western portion of Benmont Avenue, while crews from Bennington Fire Department, Bennington Rural Fire Department and firefighters from Pownal, North Bennington, Shaftsbury, and Hoosick Falls and North Hoosick in New York assisted or provided backup coverage.
