UXBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) -- A huge fire has engulfed a mill complex in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, damaging or destroying 65 small businesses inside.

No serious injures are reported.

The cause of the fire at the 400,000-square-foot Bernat Mill complex is unknown. Firefighters from more than two dozen communities have been battling the blaze.

The mill was built in the 1820s. During World War II, it made fabric for Army uniforms. Most recently, it contained businesses including wood shops and art galleries.
