Over a dozen fire departments responded Monday afternoon to a fire on Davenport Road near Mountain View Drive which likely claimed around 18 acres of woods. Buckfield Fire crews were dispatched at 1:42 p.m. to 115 Davenport Road and were met by a landowner who did not want to allow crews access to the scene, but Oxford County Sheriff’s deputies were able to detain the homeowner and secure the scene in 10 to 15 minutes. The Sheriff’s Office did not identity the homeowner or say whether the person was arrested and charged.
