According to an article on the WCSH 6 website, a fire at Chasse Marina Co. in Damariscotta prompted officials to close part of Route 1 Friday as firefighters worked to bring the blaze under control. The witnesses said the fire appeared to begin near the front garage door of the marina. One witness described helping the vice president escape the building after he repeatedly tried to go back inside to fight the fire. Video shared with WCH 6 by viewer Nate Buczacz showed heavy flames and thick smoke coming from Chasse Marina Co., located across Route 1 from Hannaford. The footage also showed firefighters attacking the blaze with water from a ladder truck.
