Waterville blaze

Flames caused significant damage to a home in Waterville yesterday afternoon.

The fire, which was spotted by a passerby, apparently started in the laundry room, and may have been electrical.  They’re still trying to confirm the cause.  Nobody was home at the time and no one was hurt.
