A man is believed to be dead after a Sunday house fire in Newfield.
The fire broke out early Sunday morning at the Maintenance Lane home, according to Shannon Moss, a spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
The blaze destroyed the two-story home.
The homeowner, 39-year-old Kristofer Whittemore, may have been inside at the time of the fire. A body was found in the rubble, Moss said.
The body was taken to the Maine medical examiner’s office in Augusta for positive identification.
The fire remains under investigation.
