OAKLAND — A Saturday fire displaced over a dozen people.<\/p>\n
Crews responded to a residence on South Alpine Road just after 11 a.m.<\/p>\n
Authorities say the structure was a large apartment building and a fire broke out near a dryer in one apartment.<\/p>\n
Due to the building’s age and the extent of the damage they believe it will be a total loss. 13 individuals were living there.<\/p>\n
One person was transported to a local hospital with injuries from smoke inhalation.<\/p>\n
When we spoke with Oakland Fire Captain Anthony Thibodeau, he couldn’t at the time verify the wellbeing of all the pets involved.<\/p>\n
Due to the intensity of the fire, a third alarm was called, garnering a sizable mutual aid response.<\/p>\n
“We used a lot of the career departments surrounding us, we used Waterville, Smithfield, Sidney, Belgrade, Rome, Winslow, Fairfield and Augusta,” Thibodeau shared.<\/p>\n
The Red Cross is helping those who were displaced. The Maine Fire Marshals Office is investigating the fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND — A Saturday fire displaced over a dozen people.
