A Woonsocket Mill goes up in flames, releasing dangerous smoke into the air, and forces people in the surrounding neighborhood out of their homes.

The fire started shortly before 1:20 p.m. Sunday, crews were called to an old dye mill on First Avenue. Once on scene they realized they had to evacuate the neighborhood due to the possible chemicals that could be in the smoke.
