On Thursday, 1 April, the Newport (ME) Fire Department was faced with a fire that destroyed the former Bar-L Ranch (and a former dance hall) on Bar-L Hill Road, just off Route 7. The building was currently being used to store antiques.
The initial alarm was called in at approximately 9:30 PM, and companies were still on the scene at what was left of the 4,000-square foot wood frame building Friday afternoon. The Newport department was assisted by companies from Corinna, Detroit, Dexter, Plymouth, Pittsfield, and Stetson.
