Vigil Held for 6 Portland House Fire Victims

PORTLAND, Maine — Mourners have held a vigil for the six people killed in a Portland house fire.

Tuesday night's vigil took place in Longfellow Park on Noyes Street, where the burned house is located.

Authorities say they're still investigating the cause of the Nov. 1 fire, which was the deadliest fire in Maine in 40 years and destroyed the house.

Mourners lined the perimeter of the park and turned on flashlights to create a wall of light at the evening vigil.

The fire killed Portland residents Nicole Finlay, David Bragdon Jr., Ashley Thomas and Christopher Conlee, Topsham resident Maelisha Jackson and Rockland resident Steven Summers.

The fire happened the morning after a Halloween party at the house, which is near the University of Southern Maine.
