A massive fire destroyed an abandoned mill on Privilege Street in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, early Monday morning, prompting a multi-agency response from fire departments in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The blaze, which began around 1 a.m., resulted in the collapse of the building's roof and left the structure reduced to rubble. Despite the significant damage, no injuries were reported, and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management confirmed that the air quality was safe. However, a water advisory was issued due to discolored water in the aftermath. The fire has reignited discussions about the preservation and repurposing of historic mill buildings, which are often neglected and pose serious fire hazards. Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the fire and assess any potential environmental impacts.
