The Maine State Fire Marshal's Office believes a "human element" contributed to a fire that destroyed an abandoned shack in the Round Pond area of Bristol the afternoon of Sunday, June 5. Bristol Fire Chief Paul Leeman Jr. said the one-story shack near the intersection of Coggins Road and Route 32 was a total loss, but firefighters from Bristol, Bremen, Damariscotta, and South Bristol were able to prevent the fire from spreading to a house on the property. The Lincoln County Communications Center paged the Bristol Fire Department at 1:25 p.m. Leeman said the fire was fully involved "with flames as high as 30 feet" when he arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.
