Three Separate House Fires Displace Multiple Families Across the Country Without Injuries

Three house fires displaced families, with no injuries reported. In Fort Kent, Maine, an attic fire displaced six residents, who were connected with the Red Cross; the Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating. In Fayetteville, a garage fire spread through a home, displacing four adults and three children who escaped after working alarms alerted them; the cause is under investigation. In Madison, Wisconsin, a garage fire spread into living spaces, displacing seven people and four pets. Two cats remain missing, and the cause of the Madison fire is under investigation.
In Fort Kent, firefighters found the fire in the attic, with smoke emerging through the home's vents and eaves; crews remained at the scene for just under two hours. Eagle Lake firefighters assisted.
The Fayetteville fire was reported in the 8400 block of Cartman Drive and began in the garage before spreading throughout the home.
In Madison, the fire affected two households, and firefighters reported seeing flames venting from first- and second-floor windows. The owners asked nearby residents to watch for the two missing cats: Macy, a gray female, and an orange-and-white male.
Madison firefighters used water through the windows to knock down most of the interior fire, suppressed the remaining garage fire, conducted search and rescue, and continued cooling hot spots for an extended period.
