A three-alarm fire on Thursday afternoon (6 May) destroyed the former Jordan's Meats packing plant, a two-story brick building, in Portland, Maine. The fire location is bounded by Franklin Arterial, Middle Street, India Street, and Fore Street.
The 1,000-feet long and 300-feet wide structure was in the process of being demolished when the fire started. A gusty wind was a factor in spreading the fire.
The Portland Fire Department was assisted at the scene by companies from South Portland.
