MILO -- Gov. John Baldacci will spend the morning touring the downtown of Milo to see the damage done by a huge fire there early Sunday morning.

The state Fire Marshal's Office has ruled that the fire that destroyed a large part of downtown Milo was intentionally set.

Investigators said the fire started at about 3:20 a.m. Sunday under a rear stairway on the outside of a building that housed Hobknobbers Pub. It reached the roof of the building before spreading to four other buildings on Main Street, burning at least a third of the downtown of this Piscataquis County town.

The fire marshal's office said the pub was broken into before the fire. A ''person of interest'' has been questioned, but no arrests have been made.

Gov. Baldacci will be in town at 10 a.m., tour the area, and then plans to join an informational meeting scheduled to begin at 10:45 at the Milo Town Hall.
