One person was seriously injured in a fire that destroyed a Limington home on Thursday morning.
The resident was the only person in the house on Boothy Road when authorities arrived around 9:37 a.m, according to the Maine Fire Marshal’s Office. He was transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland through LifeFlight, where he remains in serious condition.
No one else was injured, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the fire marshal’s office. Investigators have determined that the fire was “intentionally set.”
The home was entirely destroyed by the blaze. Moss declined to share whether the fire marshal’s office has identified any suspects because the investigation is “active and ongoing.”
