DIXFIELD — Five fire departments were dispatched Wednesday morning to the Irving Forest Products Saw Mill at 24 Hall Hill Road for a report of a roof fire.

But before they arrived, workers had extinguished the flames from a roof-mounted fan, according to a Facebook post by the Dixfield Fire Company.

“Fortunately it was a minor incident and mill personnel were able to return to work,” the post read.

Assisting Dixfield Fire Company were crews from Rumford, Peru, Mexico, East Dixfield and Andover.
