A Washburn man died early Monday morning in a house fire.

The fire broke out in the Brook Side Circle home about 12:04 a.m., according to Lt. Aaron Turcotte of the Maine State Police.

When firefighters arrived, they discovered flames consuming the single-wide trailer, Turcotte said.

Two people were taken from the scene to Northern Light A.R. Gould Hospital in Presque Isle.

Inside the home crews found a body, believed to be that of 62-year-old Steven Belmain. The body was taken to the Maine medical examiner’s office in Augusta for an autopsy.

Investigators believe a generator in the home’s entryway started the fire.
