Maine State Fire investigators responded to a fire at the United Methodist Church in Unity Monday, around 6 p.m. Investigators were on scene for much of the day on Tuesday.
The Pastor of the church says the fire department and the Fire Marshall suspect arson.
Unity Fire Chief Blaine Parsons said firefighters saved a 150-year-old Bible during the fire.
This fire follows a couple of fires that happened at the same home, also in Unity, last week.
A fire at a home on Turner Court in Unity happened at around 5 a.m. on December 22. Then, another fire happened at that same address on December 26 at around 6:30 p.m.
The State Fire Marshal's office is investigating to see if there is a connection between these fires that all occurred in the same community in such a short amount of time.
Anyone with information regarding these fires is asked to please contact the Fire Marsal’s office by calling 207-624-7076 and ask to speak to Sgt. Joel Davis.
