PORTLAND, Maine — One person has been hospitalized due to smoke inhalation after flames broke out at a building at 91 Bell Street in Portland.
Portland Fire Chief Keith Gautreau said the grass fire started near train tracks nearby and spread to the building. The fire is now under control.
According to NEWS CENTER Maine's partners at the Portland Press Herald, the building was abandoned and stands behind a series of connected light industrial buildings.
