Fire Breaks Out in Middletown Home Under Construction

A fire broke out in a home in Middletown that was under construction on Tuesday morning.

The fire at 76 West Street started in the basement and spread to the first floor, fire officials said.

Firefighters had to vent the roof because they were unable to get to the second floor of the home, fire officials added.

Portland Fire Department was contacted to provide mutual aid.

Nobody was inside of the home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Firefighters said they do not believe the fire is suspicious.
