Biddeford fire damages apartment building, no injuries reported

Firefighters contained a blaze largely to the porch areas of an apartment building, though smoke infiltrated every unit in the structure, according to the responding fire department.

Officials said the flames did not significantly extend beyond the exterior porches. However, smoke traveled through the building’s interior, reaching all apartments.

The department did not immediately release the address of the building, the time the fire was reported, or a potential cause. It was also unclear late Tuesday whether any residents were displaced or if injuries were reported.

Crews remained on scene to ventilate the apartments and assess the extent of the smoke damage. Further details are expected to be released as the investigation continues.
