Dear RSU 1 Community,
We wanted to confirm and share that there was another fire today at Dike Newell School. It was confirmed by Bath Fire and Police Departments that it was a rekindle of the first fire that took place on Friday night. With a fire of this size, this is unfortunately not uncommon. There was no one in the building at the time as it remained boarded up and there was no evidence of a separate, suspicious act.
Thank you for all your care and concern as we move forward during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Patrick Manuel
