AUBURN — Fire crews went to Stratham Tire on Minot Avenue on Friday afternoon after an issue with a commercial oven filled the business with smoke.

Fire officials said the oven, used to recap tires, malfunctioned at about 1 p.m. and began to smoke. The call came in as a working fire at 254 Minot Ave., although a fire captain said there were no flames.
