As of midday Monday, Maine Forest Service rangers estimated the Track Fire covered 30 acres and was 20 percent contained.
“Crews are currently working on installing saw lines and a hose lay. A dozer line was constructed overnight and a burnout operation was conducted to clean up the fire’s edge,” the rangers said in a Facebook post.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. The rangers said no buildings or people are threatened as of Monday, and crews will continue to be there over the next week.
