Overview
- On Thursday, officials published images of a person who may have information about the Mexico, Maine fire but did not label the individual a suspect.
- Residents and businesses were asked to review surveillance footage and contact the State Fire Marshal’s Office at 207-624-7076 with any relevant information.
- Firefighters responded to the condemned Oxford Street home in Mexico around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and arrived to flames visible from the roof and second-floor windows.
- Earlier Tuesday at about 12:51 a.m., crews found a vacant home on Dodge Road in Phillips largely engulfed, and investigators later classified that fire as incendiary.
- Mexico Selectboard records show the Oxford Street property was deemed a dangerous building in September after repeated warnings to owner Norman “Bo” Thompson, who was incarcerated at the time.
