Manufacturing, Paper Mill / Saw Mill Worcester, MA – Fire on second floor of mill contained by sprinkler system October 10, 2018 viking210 A fire in a vacant mill on Tainter Street was contained by a sprinkler system that, until mid-September, had been turned off. The fire broke out around noon Tuesday and went to a second alarm when crews found fire on the second floor. The city got a court order in September to force the building owner to turn on the sprinkler system in the building, which helped prevent a much bigger fire, officials said. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
