An attic fire destroyed an apartment building in Yarmouth on Monday night.
The fire was discovered just before 11 p.m. at the six-unit building on Bridge Street, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
When crews arrived, firefighters saw smoke coming from soffits beneath the roof’s eaves. Inside they found a blaze burning inside the attic above the second-floor apartments, Moss said Wednesday morning.
Firefighters worked through the night to extinguish the flames.
The building was destroyed in the blaze, displacing all of its tenants.
The fire was ruled accidental.
No one was injured in the fire.
