LEWISTON — The cause of a fire that damaged a Stewart Street home Sunday remains under investigation, officials said.
Firefighters responded to a 911 call, likely from a neighbor, shortly before 7:30 p.m. to find part of the first floor ablaze and flames climbing to the second floor, Chief Brian Stockdale said.
No one was at the two-family home at 24 Stewart St. and 111 Hevey St. at the time firefighters arrived, he said.
No injuries were reported.
The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen, but is being investigated, Stockdale said.
He said firefighters cut through the roof and broke out windows for ventilation.
There was no dollar estimate of damage as of Monday afternoon, he said.
Fire investigator Ryan Coleman is leading the effort to determine the cause, Stockdale said.
Firefighters remained at the scene until after midnight, he said.
