LISBON, MAINE, Maine — A fatal fire at a mobile home in Lisbon on Saturday was deemed accidental, according to officials.
The State Fire Marshal's Office began investigating after a man's remains were found inside a burning mobile home on Lisbon Road in Lisbon early Saturday morning.
In a release on Monday, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shannon Moss identified the man who died in the fire as 57-year-old Michael Dagneau, who lived at the residence.
Lisbon Fire Department Chief Nathan LeClair said in a press release over the weekend that when fire officials arrived at the single wide mobile home around 1:30 a.m., the rear section of the home was engulfed in heavy fire and smoke and they were unable to find the man.
Multiple fire departments helped to get the fire under control. LeClair said firefighters had to encounter high heat and smoke inside the home where they found the remains of a man.
Investigators determined that the fire was accidental, Moss said.
Dagneau's body was taken to a local funeral home to be examined by the medical examiner's office.
