LEWISTON — A brush fire in front of Kohl’s department store Monday afternoon led to the store sign getting caught in the blaze. 

According to Sgt. Quinell of the Auburn Police Department, they believe a cigarette ended up in the brush and started the fire. “The call came in at 2:21 this afternoon,” he said. “We were there for about 15 minutes, to help control traffic. It wasn’t a difficult fire to knock down. It only took the Fire Department about five minutes to put it out.”
