Haverhill, MA 7th Alarm - Stevens St near Winter St (Rt. 97) - 9/20/15
Around 5pm, Haverhill Fire dispatched companies to a reported building fire in an old and long abandoned mill complex on Stevens St, a dead end off Wineter St which is also Route 97.
Firefighters encountered heavy smoke and fire coming from a large mill and multiple additional alarms were requested by the Deputy Chief for mutual aid manpower. Firefighters spent hours pouring water onto the fire which kept the bulk of the fire in the original fire building and away from an ajoining abandoned mill building.
Crews spent the night and may end up spending several days at the scene wetting down hot spots. As of now, the State Fire Marshal's office is on scene to investigate a cause but have thus far been unable to enter the building to do so.
The structure, being long abandoned, had no utilities in working order at the time of the fire. Also of note, there was a fire, also under investigation, in this very building last Wednesday afternoon September 16th around 2pm or so.
