Great Cranberry Island’s general store destroyed in fire
GREAT CRANBERRY ISLAND– It’s a terrible loss for residents of Great Cranberry Island.
The Great Cranberry Island General Store & Seawich Cafe was destroyed by fire overnight despite a big effort to save it.
The flames broke out early this morning and left little behind.
Volunteers from Cranberry Island fought the flames alone until departments on MDI could join the battle.
WDEA reports crews from Southwest Harbor and Mount Desert were taken to the island aboard a barge.
There’s no word at this point on what started the fire.
We’re told no injuries are reported.
