Millinocket Fire Caused By Electric Heating Unit


3

Millinocket - The Millinocket Fire Department responded to a 2-unit apartment fire on Katahdin Avenue on Wednesday afternoon.

The call came in around 2:30 PM.

The fire department says they arrived about 5 minutes later.

Officials tell us an electronic heater was left too close to a mattress and bed-sread.

That ignited the blaze which destroyed one of the units.

The other unit only had smoke damage.

Three cats were rescued from the building.

There were no injuries.
