DENMARK – Fire crews from several towns were battling a blaze in the middle of Denmark on Friday night after woods went up and flames and two sets of buildings caught fire.

A fire dispatcher said the blaze was concentrated near Ledgers Lane, in the area where the town golf course used to be located. By 7 p.m., a full crew from Denmark was joined by others from nearby towns. They were still fighting flames hours later.

There were no reports of injuries. The dispatcher said the buildings that caught fire were older summer homes.

In Denmark, firefighters were expecting to remain in the woods until late Friday, possibly into Saturday morning.

Denmark is east of Fryeburg in southern Oxford County.

Firefighters were hampered by high winds that caused problems for crews in other towns across the state throughout the day.

Late Friday afternoon, firefighters in Carthage, between Weld and Dixfield in Franklin County, battled a fire that burned through woods and some vehicles.

Earlier, a fire near the Hallowell-Manchester line burned through woods and utility equipment, knocking out Time Warner Cable service across the region.

In Clinton, winds whipped flames and burned 10 acres across that town and nearby Burnham on Friday afternoon. The fire burned a shed and threatened a home before crews knocked it down.

The pilot of a Maine Forest Service helicopter dropping water on that fire noticed another burning across three acres in Detroit.
