POLAND — Fire crews from several towns were called to Spring Water Road Sunday night after several tractor-trailers were reported on fire.

At about the same time, firefighters to the south were heading to a similar call in Scarborough.

In Poland, firefighters called for help from several towns, including Gray, New Gloucester, Durham, Paris and Oxford after the fire was reported at about 8:30 p.m.
