A handful of fire departments responded to a structure fire at Sappi North America woodyard just after 5 a.m Saturday in Skowhegan. “It’s an all steel building so damage was very, very limited,” Skowhegan Fire Chief Shawn Howard said. “They were probably back up and running before the end of shift.” There were no injuries. The cause of the fire is unknown at this point, but is believed to be mechanical. At the site, saw dust, wood dust and wood chips “present a danger,” Howard said.
