Maine investigators say a fire that destroyed a four-story Biddeford apartment building was arson.
No one was hurt in the fire, which was reported at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
It took several hours for more than 100 firefighters to put out the fire
Witnesses tell investigators they fire was first spotted on one of the lower floors.
Sgt. Joel Davis of the fire marshal’s office tells WCSH-TV that given the time of day the fire was reported it’s lucky no one was hurt.
