BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 3, 2025

A small fire in Acadia National Park on Wednesday was likely human-caused according to park officials. “An individual was reported being seen in the area just before smoke was observed, but park rangers were unable to locate the person,” Management Assistant John T. Kelly said. A string of fires in 18 months in 2023 and 2024 on St. Sauveur Mountain, also within the park, have been linked to a Trenton man.
