A fire heavily damaged an apartment building and displaced two families Sunday at 53-55 Bradley St. in Lewiston, fire Chief Mark Caron said.
The building is uninhabitable, he said.
Firefighters arrived one minute after the 10:04 a.m. report, according to a Lewiston Fire Department Facebook post, and encountered flames showing from the second-floor apartment.
“Through coordinated and aggressive efforts, firefighters had the fire under control in 20 minutes,” the post states.
The second floor and roof sustained significant damage, Caron said.
Two families were living in the building, he said. No injuries were reported.
The fire is under investigation by the Office of State Fire Marshal. Auburn and Lisbon fire departments assisted on scene and covered the station.
