They say 230,000 gallons of water was used to battle the fire, which took place during Sunday morning’s snowstorm.
Firefighters say no one was injured in the fire as no one was in the building during the fire.
The Fairfield Benton Emergency Services assisted in response and thanked Norridgewock Fire for looking after their town while they were in Waterville.
