Mount Vernon Fire Department’s Save The Basement Strategy Works Like A Charm

MOUNT VERNON — A fire that destroyed a vacant home Friday morning on Pond Road was set intentionally, according to investigators. Mount Vernon Fire Chief Dana Dunn said nobody was hurt in the fire, which had engulfed the two-story home by the time firefighters arrived. “It was a vacant house,” Dunn said, adding he was unsure of the address. “Right now we’re not even sure who owns it.” Sgt. Ken Grimes of the State Fire Marshal’s Office said investigators are trying to determine who set the fire. There was no electricity to the building. “It looks like a set fire,” he said. A passer-by reported the fire around 5:15 a.m., Dunn said. About 30 firefighters from Readfield, Fayette, Wayne, Manchester, Vienna and Belgrade helped Mount Vernon firefighters battle the blaze. Winthrop Ambulance and Mount Vernon Rescue also responded. (read more at KennebecJournal)
