Fires in North Berwick and Plaistow

Dry conditions, gusty winds, and low humidity this week combined to create ideal conditions for the fast spread of fires.

A fire in one room of a four-car detached garage on Kingston Road in Plaisow that spread to the attic was quickly brought under control late Thursday afternoon, according to the Plaistow Fire Department.

"This fire was quickly contained, and property damage was limited because of a fast response of trained, equipped, and capable firefighters. Response times and on-duty staffing makes a tremendous difference with our outcomes," the department said.

Fire caused significant damage to a house on Old County Road in North Berwick, leaving it uninhabitable, according to the North Berwick Fire Department.

Donations to the William Hill Firefighters Association to assist the family may be made at any Kennebunk Savings location.
