WISCASSET — A fire of unknown origin destroyed a Wiscasset business Sunday night.
Wiscasset’s Deputy Fire Chief John Merry said firefighters had to use an excavator to remove the metal siding from Twin City Lock and Key on Chewonki Neck Road.
Merry said there was no other way for fire crews to get at the hot spots inside the metal-framed building.
Merry said several people were working on vehicles inside the structure when the fire was reported around 4:15 p.m. Everyone got out safely.
It took Wiscasset firefighters and crews from seven other departments more than five hours to bring the fire under control. A second business, located about 200 feet away from Twin City Lock and Key, was not damaged.
