No charges have been filed yet in connection with a Wednesday fire that was determined to be set intentionally at a Vassalboro home.

The fire was reported late Wednesday morning at 250 Mudget Hill Road, a newly built home owned by Scott John Audet.

Audet, 42, had moved into the home in December.

Fire officials said Audet was the only person at home when the fire started, and he was escorted by police to an ambulance.

Sgt. Kenneth Grimes, an investigator with the Office of the State Fire Marshal, said Friday that the homeowner is receiving medical treatment.

He also said the fire marshals don’t identify suspects until charges are filed.

Audet previously was found not criminally responsible for a March 2003 arson at a home he owned then in Oakland.

He remains under supervision of the Riverview Psychiatric Center, the state-run psychiatric hospital in Augusta for the mentally ill. Sgt. Blaine Bronson, of the Maine State Police, said state troopers were sent to the house after receiving a report from a Riverview employee. A resident of the house had called the hospital and said he had set his bed on fire, Bronson said at the time.

Grimes said the fire originated in the kitchen and an upstairs bedroom.

The house was badly damaged and is not livable, according to Grimes.
