Your Kidding me!!! Taxpoor you are ignorant, facts, hartford is no where near bangor, fact at 2:30 in the morning do you think he stopped to look for his cell phone or stop to make a call on his way out the door?? Fact they are no flatlanders they lived on cary hill for decades, the tornado ripped their barn down, they had just cleaned all that up, quite obviously there was more structural damage to the farmhouse than what met the eye, the place burned to the ground, all of their many years of accumulated possessions, antiques, memories gone in fire, they raised their family there, paid their taxes and lived quietly, yes they have a house on the coast big deal. oh and we are not in the woods, I wouldn't call a 20 minute ride to lewiston auburn in the woods.

Hartford fire destroys home; attached barn recently leveled by tornado
HARTFORD — More than 30 firefighters from seven towns battled an early morning fire in Hartford on Sunday. But despite their best efforts, the 3 a.m. blaze reduced the wooden farmhouse to nothing more than rubble in the basement.
Ironically, it was the same Cary Hill Road property where an August tornado ripped to shreds an attached barn.
"Basically, it was a total loss," said Chief Steven Campbell of the Buckfield Fire Department. "It caved in within 15 minutes of us arriving."
Campbell said that homeowner Ken Schuler, who lives in Edgecomb with his wife, was still cleaning up the debris left from the summer tornado that completely destroyed a barn attached to the home. He said that Schuler was staying at the home Saturday night when he awoke to fire early Sunday morning.
Schuler then walked up the road to a neighbor's home to call for help, Campbell said, adding that the structure was fully engulfed by the time crews arrived. He said that the home burned quickly because it was older and wooden.
In addition to Buckfield, crews from Turner, Canton, Paris, Sumner, Hebron and Livermore assisted with the fire. Firefighters cleared the scene around 8 a.m. Sunday.
Campbell said there is no reason to believe the fire was suspicious, although the state Fire Marshal's Office will be in Monday to help determine an exact cause of the blaze.

Taxpoor, You are definetly
Taxpoor,
You are definetly a flat lander huh. You went to Bradford not Hartford and you caught a LARGEMOUTH BASS not a BIG MOUTH BASS. You cant even get your own facts straight. The one who has no conception is you. By the way how to heck did you catch a fish while you were hunting???
Taxpoor...I grew up on Cary
Taxpoor...I grew up on Cary Hill which is on the Hartford Sumner line in Oxford County...far from Bangor. The owner did not live there, the story says he lives elsewhere but was staying there overnight. Not all of us old fahrts have cell phones. I was up there after the tornado and the whole top of that hill was a disaster. It is beautiful up there with a panoramic view. Great place for a kid to grow up.
What no home phone & no cell
What no home phone & no cell phone? Seems a little odd. Even young kids in school have cell phones. Maybe if it took longer to get to a phone there would be less to save and and less to clean up. Here in Mass everyone has cell phones. Maybe the guy has no conseption up there in the woods. Hartford is neer Bangor I think I went hunting down there years ago and caught a big mouth bass in a large clearing
