Sanford, ME - On June 4th, the Sanford, Maine Fire Department was dispatched to a reported fire in the laundry room of 43 Payne Street in the Springvale section of the city. Engine 3 was first to arrive, and under the orders of Lt. Rick Smith, a working fire assignment was issued. The working fire was quickly updated to a first-alarm, bringing in mutual aid to work and cover. Crews were able to quickly get the fire under control in the one-and-a-half story residential structure. This fire came a day after Sanford responded to and fought a fatal second-alarm fire on Deering Neighborhood Road.
