Sadly the Wild Bird Center of Yarmouth, and 9 other businesses in the building are no more. A 6 alarm fire destroyed the building last night.
YARMOUTH (NEWS CENTER) — Fire crews are still on scene trying to get a six alarm fire under control on Route 1 in Yarmouth.
The fire first broke out just after 9pm Friday at a commercial structure that houses several businesses and organizations, including The Wild Bird Center.
A full task force alarm has been sounded, meaning that all available mutual aid from Cumberland County is being called to the scene.
To assist in fighting the fire, power has been cut to the immediate area, leaving many nearby residents in the dark.
There are currently no road closures and no injuries have been reported. Crews expect to be on-scene well into the morning.

Hi Dawn! Thanks for stopping by.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the fire. Estimates on damage are in the neighborhood of $4 million dollars to the businesses.
I am adding your site to my blogroll. Thanks for linking to me.
