LISBON — Authorities say a man has died in a mobile home fire in Lisbon.

The state Fire Marshal’s Office says 41-year-old Richard Davis was found in the home’s bedroom early today. He was the only occupant of the home.

Authorities say Davis called 911 from his home at the mobile home park on Larry Drive at about midnight, but was unable to escape before being overcome by smoke.

Lisbon Fire Chief Sean Galipeau says there were no working smoke detectors in the home. He told the Sun Journal newspaper that fire department officials had gone through the neighborhood previously to check for smoke detectors, but Davis wasn’t home and didn’t call a number left for him.

It was the state’s first fatal fire of the year.
