Crews found one person dead after fire destroyed an off-grid residence in Sumner.
The Maine Fire Marshal’s Office says crews were dispatched to the fire around 5 p.m. Wednesday on Valley Road after a caller reported seeing flames from a distance.
Firefighters had to use ATVs and pickup trucks to get to the fire, where a man was found dead outside of the structure.
His body was taken to the medical examiner while an investigation continues.
