ELLSWORTH COUNTY – Fire officials are working to determine the cause of a fire Sunday at an old, abandoned mill in Wilson.

Just after 2p.m. fire crews were dispatched to report of the fire, according to Ellsworth County Director of Emergency Management Keith Haberer. In addition to fighting the fire, crews and local residents sprayed down nearby homes to prevent the spread of the blaze.
