Community members have raised thousands in donations to support Portland’s waterfront workers after businesses were destroyed in a fire on Friday at Custom House Wharf.
The fire also destroyed crucial fishing gear, like lobster traps, nets and haulers, owned by fishermen. Some lost a lifetime worth of equipment, said Ben Martens, executive director of the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association.
Wharf businesses grapple with fire's aftermath on Portland waterfront
PORTLAND, Maine (WGME) — It was a long night for Portland firefighters.
Deputy Fire Chief Jon Hendricks says a fire broke out around 5:30 on Friday night.
The heavy flames were coming from a warehouse building off Custom House Wharf.
Hendricks says frozen fire hydrants and narrow roads posed stiff challenges to combat the flames.
Two firefighters were hurt in the process, but they were not hospitalized.
"The first in companies did a great job, and they made a very aggressive attack to keep it from spreading down the rest of the wharf," Hendricks said.
The fire tore through a boat repair shop. Hendricks says the building is a total loss.
