PHOTOS: A garage and home in Hancock County were destroyed by a fire earlier today.
The Hancock Volunteer Fire Department received a call of a fully involved structure fire at 26 Horsing Around Way, located off Washington Junction Road, just before 7 a.m. Fire Chief Chris Holmes says when crews arrived they garage was in flames. Holmes says the wind caused that fire to spread to the home which was approximately four feet away.
Everyone including the pets made it out safely.
Mutual aid came from Ellsworth, Lamoine, Sullivan, Sorrento, Dedham and Northern Light Ambulance; all of which had to traverse dicey road conditions to help battle the fire.
The Fire Marshal’s Office and the Red Cross were also called in to assist.
