Jan. 14—LOVELL — A two-story home built in the 1800s was destroyed in a fire Thursday evening.

Firefighters were called to the home at 506 Christian Hill Road about 6:50 p.m. and found it fully engulfed in flames, Lovell Fire Chief Mark Moulton said. Flames were knocked down by about 8:15 p.m.

Residents and their dog were out of the home when fire crews arrived. There were no reports of injuries.

The Office of Maine Fire Marshal is investigating the cause, but Moulton said it did not appear to be suspicious.

Firefighters from Stoneham, Fryeburg, Sweden and Saco Valley assisted the Lovell Fire Department with personnel and tankers.
