Fire wrecks garage, spares attached house in Vassalboro
VASSALBORO — Firefighters extinguished a fire that started in a garage Saturday morning and spread to the cellar below.
Firefighters stopped the fire before it spread to the adjacent home.
At 10:43 a.m., firefighters were called to 427 Webber Pond Road to put out a fire in the garage of Bruce and Kathy Calkins, according to Chief Eric Rowe.
Rowe said the fire started in the garage where someone had been welding, and a spark appeared to have ignited the wooden floor. The fire then spread into cellar beams under the garage floor.
Rowe said the remains of the garage probably would need to be torn down, but the house was unharmed, other a loss of electricity because wires in the garage burned.
Firefighters were on the scene until past 1 p.m. Firefighters from Winslow and South China helped the Vassalboro crew put out the fire.
