The fire was first reported at 2:11 p.m. to be in an engine in the mill. It was later determined to have started when sawdust was ignited by a welder. Fire companies from Greenwich, Easton, Schuylerville, Cossayuna and Middle Falls responded to the blaze. Thick black smoke could be seen from miles away and the blaze was marked with numerous explosions. Fire fighters were able to bring the blaze under control quickly but the mill was a total loss. No injuries were reported however Easton-Greenwich and General Schuyler Rescue Squads were both on scene. The mill is owned by the Town of Easton Supervisor Dan Shaw.
