SMITHFIELD — A fire broke out Friday night in a former mill that houses the storage warehouse for the Benny’s chain of home and auto stores.

The alarm came in shortly after 7 p.m. The flames were reported to be under control about an hour later.

There were no reports of injuries, and the extent of damage could not be determined last night. The mill lies off Waterman Avenue, near the North Providence town line, and along the banks of the Woonasquatucket River.
