AUBURN — Fire crews went to Stratham Tire on Minot Avenue on Friday afternoon after an issue with a commercial oven filled the business with smoke.

Fire officials said the oven, used to recap tires, malfunctioned at about 1 p.m. and began to smoke. The call came in as a working fire at 254 Minot Ave., although a fire captain said there were no flames.

The problem was isolated to the area of the oven, fire officials said. Crews helped blow smoke from the building and cleared the scene.
