BATH, Maine (AP) An elementary school that sustained heavy fire damage, forcing the cancellation of classes, was on fire again Monday morning.

Flames were seen coming from the roof of the Dike Newell School as firefighters tried to douse the flames Monday morning.

The school, which serves pre-kindergarten through second grade, was closed because of the earlier fire.

The first fire raged late Friday and early Saturday before being doused, and it was deemed to be suspicious.

A 30-year-old man was arrested and jailed on charges of burglary and arson.

That individual was identified as Allan Thomas Vigil of Bath. He was expected to make his first court appearance this week.
