Investigators are trying to determine the cause of a massive fire this morning at an Allen County sawmill. Our partners at 21Alive WPTA in Fort Wayne report officials say the fire at the Cedar Creek Sawmill in the town of Grabill escalated quickly and spread to nearby propane tanks. No one was injured in the blaze.

Multiple crews were called to the scene after the initial call after 1 a.m.

Grabill is located in the center of a major Amish community in Allen County.

The facility produces wooden pallets.
