ELLSWORTH, Maine — Several fire departments fought a house fire in Ellsworth.
The fire started around 3 p.m. at an apartment at 65 Oak Street. Crews on the scene reported everyone got out of the house safely.
Parts of Oak Street are closed while firefighters continue to work on the fire.
High winds made it difficult for firefighters on the scene to control the flames. The wind was so strong at one point, crews had to be evacuated.
A mayday call was made after one firefighter was unaccounted for following the evacuation. The firefighter was located shortly after that call, according to Ellsworth Fire Chief Richard Tupper.
