Fire Destroys Searsport Bus Garage
On Sunday afternoon, emergency crews responded to a fire at the RSU 20 bus garage in Searsport, Maine. The incident occurred around 3:35 p.m., with firefighters arriving to find smoke billowing from the building and a roof that was beginning to sag under the intense heat.
State Fire Marshal officials have determined that the blaze started in the right rear section of the garage, where a pickup truck and a school bus were located. The fire caused extensive damage, ultimately leading to the total loss of the structure.
Investigators plan to return to the site on Monday to speak with bus mechanics as part of their ongoing inquiry. The exact cause of the fire is still being looked into.
This remains an active investigation, and further details will be provided as they emerge.
