Man dies in Maine house fire
A man died Friday when a fire ripped through a home in Lebanon.
The fire broke out about 12 p.m. at the Smith Road home, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
One of the occupants escaped the fire and was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
The home was destroyed in the fire, Moss said.
Investigators later found the man’s body in the rubble. His body was taken to the Maine medical examiner’s office in Augusta, where an autopsy will confirm his identity.
The fire remains under investigation.
