Three Early-Morning Fires in Norway, Maine Trigger Multi-Agency Investigation

Overview

• Authorities reported fires at 69 Beal St. just before 2 a.m., at 32 Alpine St. at 2:47 a.m., and an additional active fire discovered at 27 Alpine St.
• All three locations sit within roughly half a mile of each other in the same neighborhood.
• The Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office is leading the probe with support from the Oxford and Androscoggin county sheriffs, local police departments, and the ATF.
• Investigators have not announced a cause and asked anyone with information to call the Maine Department of Public Safety in Augusta at 207-624-7076.
• The cluster follows a February blaze on Beal Street that destroyed a building described by officials as a frequent site for squatters.
