WATERVILLE — The Fire-Rescue Department was busy Monday night responding to three reported fires, one of which destroyed a mobile home on Heather Drive and sent a woman who had jumped out of a window to the hospital.

One of the reported fires on Veterans Court off Water Street turned out not to be a fire at all, according to fire Chief Jason Frost.

“That was unfounded,” he said. “We don’t know what happened there.”

At 11:13 p.m., firefighters were called to 75 Heather Drive in Countryside Trailer Park off West River Road where a fire of undetermined cause leveled a mobile home occupied by a husband and wife, according to Frost. The woman jumped out of a window and suffered scratches to her back and was taken by Waterville Fire-Rescue to a hospital, he said. Her injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.

“It was a total loss,” Frost said of the mobile home. “We called the fire marshal for assistance. They’re calling it undetermined. There’s nothing suspicious, they just couldn’t determine a cause because it was a complete loss.”

The homeowner said the mobile home was not insured, according to Frost, who said he did not know the occupants’ names.

Radiant heat damaged an adjacent mobile home at 76 Heather Drive which was insured, he said. Two people live at that home, which is uninhabitable due to the damage, he said.

The Red Cross was called to help the four people displaced in the fire and adjacent home, he said.

About 30 firefighters from Waterville, Oakland, Sidney, Winslow and Fairfield responded to the fire, he said.

At 7:26 p.m. Monday, firefighters responded to 117 Western Ave. for a chimney fire that was knocked down quickly, according to Frost. A meeting was being held at the fire station when the fire broke out so multiple firefighters were able to respond, he said. The building is an upstairs-downstairs duplex with a woodstove on the first floor, according to Frost.

Altogether, the fire department responded to 27 calls Monday, he said. Some were heating related. Frost cautions people to have their heating systems checked.

“You should have your furnace cleaned at least once a year,” he said. “Before you even use your woodstove, you should have your chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional. You also want to use nice, dry, clean wood. That’ll help keep the creosote levels down.”

He said anyone with related questions or concerns may call the fire department at 207-680-4735.
