LINCOLNVILLE — A fast moving fire burned 85 percent of a new three-story home in Lincolnville soon after midnight, Dec. 19. The fire was rekindling as of 8 a.m., Dec. 20, and the Lincolnville Fire Dept. was once again responding.
Lincolnville Fire Chief Don Fullington III was first at the scene when reports of the fire were made, and arrived to find the building fully engulfed in flames, with the chimney collapsing into the roof.
Mutual aid arrived from Northport, Belfast, Camden, Rockport, Searsmont and Union.
"Very sad it went up so quick. The fire departments who came worked through the night and so hard," said one neighbor. "They kept it from spreading to the near houses too. Heros, and brave."
Camden's ladder truck responded to help tackle the higher reaches of the tall multi-sectional home.
Chief Fullington was told by the owners that all occupants had safely evacuated.
The cause has been attributed to a chimney fire.
This story will be updated when more details become available.
