WINSLOW, Maine — A massive fire burned down multiple buildings at a Winslow supply facility Friday.
McCormack Building Supply on Lithgow Street lost two and a half structures in the fire, first reported just after noon, officials on scene said.
Winslow's police chief said McCormack Building Supply is a family-run business and that a lot of local contractors frequent it for supplies, such as garage doors, paint and other materials that are believed to have been lost in the blaze.
Everyone inside got out safe, an official said.
At least five other towns assisted Winslow's fire department: Waterville, Oakland, Fairfield, Sydney and Weeks Mills.
The fire marshal's office was on scene.
Images and videos sent to NEWS CENTER Maine by witnesses Friday showed the fire at McCormack Building Supply store on Lithgow Street.

A witness, Erica Holst Wright, told NEWS CENTER Maine, "to see the figure in our community gone in a second has just broken all of our hearts. My dad is a firefighter on scene at this time. Complete and utter devastation."
A local man told NEWS CENTER Maine that two of the buildings lost in the fire appear to be the business' main office, and another that held all of its expensive pine lumber, known as "No. 1 pine," used to finish work such as interior trim.
As of about 2 p.m., the fire was still going, but contained to small rubble piles.
Firefighter Joseph "Rocky" Gravel, who responded, was set to retire Friday. He spent 38 years on the department, the first four as a volunteer.
