On Saturday, four people from Hampden lost their home. Multiple crews were called to Main Road North a little after three. According to authorities, the family was home when the fire broke out and made it out safely.
Lieutenant Dan Pugsley of the Hampden Fire Department was on the scene. “Our investigators are working with the State Fire Marshal’s office to come up with a possible cause and origin of the fire, but because of the advanced destruction in the building before we got here, we had to bring an excavator in to tear it down just so we can safely put it out and leave the building” The investigation is still ongoing.
