GORHAM, Maine — Officials from the state fire marshal’s office, along with Gorham police officers and firefighters, will start canvassing Gorham neighborhoods to help with their investigation of suspicious fires in the area, according to Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland.
The latest arson fire in town, the fifth in the last 15 days, occurred late Wednesday night at a home under construction.
McCausland said in a news release the canvassing will include a handout for residents, which will include what numbers to call to report any suspicious activity.
Participants will meet behind the Gorham police and fire station at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, McCausland said.
Hopefully they will find out soon who is doing this, lot of arsons in 15 days
It is very unsettling when there is the real possibility that an arsonist is loose in your community…..I do hope the one that may be responsible for these suspicious fires is found before a life is lost……
If you see a fire acting suspiciously please contact police immediately. Don’t not attempt to approach the fire as it may be armed and is considered to be dangerous.
