An accidental fire took place at an Ashland home Monday, killing one cat.
The fire was caused by a gasoline spill, according to the Maine Department of Public Safety. While a lawn tractor was being repaired in the garage, gasoline spilled onto the floor and its vapors were ignited by a space heater.
The home and garage were a total loss.
Two occupants were displaced by the fire, including a 77-year-old man who was taken to a hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation.
One cat died. A dog escaped from the property and has not been found.
