LEWISTON – A woman and her teenage son were released from the hospital on Christmas, two days after they suffered smoke inhalation in an early morning fire at the family’s Main Street home.

Raynald Lebrun Sr. said that his 14-year-old son, Raynald Lebrun Jr., and his wife, Celestia Lebrun, were released from Central Maine Medical Center on Saturday. He said the pair was doing fine.

The Lebruns fled their second-floor apartment at 555-557 Main St. about 1 a.m. Thursday when flames swept up from the first floor.

Two other Lebrun children, ages 11 and 13, were unhurt in the fire.

Fire officials said Raynald Jr. escaped the burning building without harm, but that he rushed back in, believing some family members were still inside.

In all, more than a half-dozen people were left homeless in the blaze. Fire officials have said the fire likely started with a carelessly discarded cigarette in a first-floor apartment, but were still investigating.

The Lebrun family was staying in a Lewiston hotel over the weekend.

They hoped to move into a new apartment within days.
