WOODSTOCK — The Office of the State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of a fire that gutted a home on Gore Road on Wednesday night, fire Chief Kyle Hopps said Thursday.
The 2½-story home is owned by an out-of-state couple who were not there at the time, he said.
“This house was their second home, so there was nobody living there at the time of the fire,” Hopps said. He did not have their names.
The fire was reported at about 8:30 p.m. and Woodstock crews called for help from Greenwood, Bethel, West Paris, Newry and Rumford.
“We had stopped the fire pretty early on, but we ended up spending most of Thursday chasing the hot spots,” Hopps said.
He said the house was a total loss.
“By the time we got on scene Wednesday night, the fire had spread through the entire back of the house,” Hopps said. “The entire inside of the house is completely gutted.”
The cause of the fire remained undetermined as of Thursday evening, Hopps said.
