At least 1 missing after Maine hotel destroyed by fire: 'total loss'

Two people were injured and up to two others remain unaccounted for after a fire destroyed a Kittery, Maine, Days Inn hotel Wednesday afternoon.

A fire destroyed a Days Inn hotel in Kittery on Wednesday afternoon, and firefighters worked to find one to two people unaccounted for in the blaze.

O’Brien said one firefighter was injured with cuts. He also said a passerby was injured but didn't provide additional details.

Flames tore through parts of the roof, and smoke could be seen from more than a mile away. Part of the building also collapsed.

O’Brien said the fire was under investigation. The size of the fire, the size of the building, wind and lack of water all made it challenging to fight the blaze, he said.
