TURNER – A fire early Sunday morning left one person hurt and destroyed a 48 River Road house.

Fire Chief Steve Fish said firefighters were called to the single family home William Hammond shares with his wife, Barbara, at about 3 a.m. Sunday. Fire was coming from the mud room and out the windows of the one-floor, wood-frame house when firefighters arrived.

“We knocked it down quickly,” Fish said, estimating that it only required 300 to 400 gallons of water to douse the blaze.

Flame and smoke damage was extensive, however, he said.

He said Barbara Hammond suffered smoke inhalation and burned her hand in the fire, but added that the injuries weren’t life-threatening. She was treated at a Lewiston hospital, he said.

He said firefighters from Buckfield, Leeds and Greene assisted Turner firefighters, responding under the communities’ mutual aid agreement.
