A week after the Bridgewater Fire Department was called to put out a fire at a former house that was under demolition, the Maine Forest Service said the fire appeared to have been lit intentionally. Jim Britt — a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, which contains the Maine Forest Service — said the investigation is not complete and there are currently no suspects. While the fire caused negligible property damage, as well as minor damage to the forest, the results could have been far more severe.
