ROGERSVILLE, Ala. — During the early morning hours on May 15, local fire departments responded to a structural fire at Evans Lumber Company near Highway 72 in Alabama. The company specializes in softwood building products, such as spruce, yellow and treated pine, and mouldings and millworks.

"Deja vu," said a former volunteer of Rogersville Volunteer Fire Department on the fire department's social media. "The first time this lumber yard caught fire was due to ignited sawdust." Other residents chimed in, with acknowledgment of the previous incident with speculations as to what was the cause this time. 

No injuries have been reported, and the cause has yet to be determined.
