Fire crews from nine fire departments responded to a Richmond house fire that left one child with injuries Tuesday afternoon.
Crews were called to the home at 450 Main St. just before 2 p.m. Tuesday. Richmond Fire Department was the first to arrive and crews found flames and smoke coming from multiple sides of the home.
One male child was rushed to the hospital with minor injuries from the fire.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze but had to return early Wednesday morning because it had rekindled.
Fire/rescue crews from Bowdoinham, Bowdoin, Woolwich, Topsham, Litchfield, Dresden, Gardner and Wiscasset assisted Richmond.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
