Third fatal fire in span of a week in Maine kills man, 75

FARMINGTON, Maine (AP) - The Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office said Saturday a residential fire in Farmington killed a 75-year-old man.

The fire was the third fatal fire in Maine within the span of a week. The fire marshal’s office said the fire killed Farmington resident William Vincent.
