VIDEO: The Maine State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating a fire that leveled an apartment building in Jay Tuesday night.
Maine's Total Coverage has learned that 10 residents were able to safely escape the fire, which fully engulfed the three-story, six-unit building at 6 Jewell St.
Three firefighters suffered minor injuries, while several pets died in the fire.
The Jay Fire Department said more than 60 firefighters from eight departments helped put out the flames.
Laurie Tarbush, who lived on the third floor of the home with her 9-year-old daughter, Scotlyn, said they heard what sounded like neighbors fighting and then people screaming: 'Fire! Get out!'
"I went to the bathroom window to see what was going on and it was all orange," Tarbush said. "I turned around and I told her: 'We've got to go.'"
