From the Fire Marshal’s Office:
On Monday, March 10, 2025, at approximately 5:40 am, the Bangor Fire Department and Bangor Police Department responded to a reported fire at 75 4th St. in Bangor. The building, a condemned single-family home that had been boarded up by the city, was initially reported to have people trapped inside. Upon arrival, firefighters conducted suppression and rescue operations. No one was found inside the building, however, an individual who was in the house at the time of the fire sustained serious burn injuries. He was transported to a Bangor hospital and will be transferred to Maine Medical Center in Portland for further treatment. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries during the response and were treated on scene. The fire caused significant damage to the structure. Preliminary findings indicate that a propane gas explosion was the likely cause of the fire. Fire Marshal investigators worked alongside Bangor Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division throughout the day to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. The Bangor Fire Department’s Technical Rescue Team played a critical role in securing the structure, allowing investigators to safely enter and conduct their work. The Maine Fuel Board has also been called in to assist with the investigation.
