A Maine elementary school that was devastated by a fire over the weekend did not have a sprinkler system and was not required to because of its age, the state fire marshal said.
The wings of the Dr. Levesque Elementary School in Frenchville that burned down were constructed in 1963, prior to building codes mandating sprinkler systems in schools, Fire Marshal Joe Thomas told NECN and NBC 10 Boston Tuesday. There is no blame, they didn t do anything wrong, said Thomas of the school district, adding that, until the 1990s, we didn t see fire suppression in schools at all.

Bangor police are investigating whether a Molotov cocktail-like device thrown at a building Wednesday may have been directed at a resident who works at a health center that provides abortions.
State Fire Marshal Joe Thomas said Bangor police are searching for whoever threw the device at the building on French Street in downtown Bangor. Thomas confirmed the investigation is looking at whether the fire-bombing was connected to the resident’s work for a family planning clinic that provides abortions.
“The circumstances certainly dictate that they’ll look into it heavily,” Thomas said in a phone interview Thursday evening.
