BATH — Thirteen people, including six children, were displaced by an apartment building fire that broke out late Monday night at 20 Windjammer Way.
The Mid Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross, based in Topsham, worked with the families to make sure they had a place to stay.
Capt. Lawrence Renaud said the fire at Maritime Apartments appears to have been caused by the buildup of lint in a clothes dryer vent. Five apartment units suffered varying degrees of smoke and fire damage.
“We made a great stop by preventing the fire from destroying the whole (apartment) complex,” Renaud said.
No injuries were reported. Firefighters from several departments spent hours fighting the fire and cleaning up debris. They were able to leave the fire scene at 4:30 a.m.
“It was cold and there was a lot of digging out to do,” Renaud added.
