OLD TOWN, Maine -- Multiple crews responded Monday to a fire at the ND Paper mill in Old Town.

One of the mill's boilers, No. 5, ignited some "smudge" in the vent going to the roof, causing the fire, an ND Paper spokeswoman said.
Earlier, the spokeswoman said the fire was "believed to have started from some dried up debris that started smoldering."
Exactly what ignited the fire and how it happened both remained under investigation just after noontime Monday.
No injuries were reported, according to the spokeswoman.
Crews from Bradley and Glenburn assisted Old Town.

ND Paper is located along the Penobscot River near the old site of the Great Works Dam, which came down in 2012.
