Emergency responders in Maine were at the scene of a large fire and explosion at a lumber mill Friday in a small town in the state's scenic midcoast region where several people were injured.
Waldo County officials said they are considering the fire and explosion a “mass casualty event.” They said at least five people were injured as of midday but a full assessment was not complete. Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center was treating one patient who was in critical condition, a spokesperson for the Bangor hospital said.
