A fire that started in a wood pellet dryer late Sunday in Athens extended into the building, damaging the walls, roof and many wire trays.
Fourteen fire departments and more than 50 firefighters responded to the blaze at Maine Woods Pellet Co. at 164 Harmony Road, working in frigid temperatures, according to Athens Fire Chief Brett Strout.
“We had zero visibility inside the building and the fire was deep inside the walls and deep inside the roof, so it was a lot of digging,” Strout said Monday.
