FRYEBURG -- Main Street is back open after a fire destroyed part of the NAPA Auto Parts store this early morning.

However, it will be some time before officials know what caused the blaze that set off some small explosions and caused severe damage to the building.

The fire was called in around 2 a.m. and Main Street was closed for almost six hours afterward as fire crews worked to control the fire that engulfed the building. At this hour, they are still there, dousing hot spots and waiting for the Maine Fire Marshall's Office to investigate the cause.

In West Paris, fire Thursday evening destroyed the Perham Field grandstand that's long been a landmark in town.

Firefighters said they could see smoke from the station and when they got to the fire, the grandstand was already engulfed in flames.

There was also a fire in a single-family trailer in Norway at 269 Harrison Road. Harrison Road was closed as they fought the blaze. This one was also reported around 3 a.m. but was put out rather quickly. And the road is open now.
