BOWDOINHAM (WGME) — A fire tore through a home in Bowdoinham Saturday afternoon leaving it completely destroyed, according to the Bowdoinham Fire Department.

Firefighters said they were called to the home along Ridge Road around 5:00 p.m. and when they arrived the flames were shooting through the roof.

According to fire officials, no one was at home when the fire broke out but a neighbor was able to help the dogs that were inside escape safely.

Crews from a number of departments were on scene through the afternoon to help contain the fire.

According to investigators, they are still unsure what caused the fire but believe Saturday’s strong winds contributed to it spreading.

The State Fire Marshals Office will be on scene Sunday to determine a cause.

No injuries were reported.
