Fall 1947 brought the worst fire disaster in Maine’s history. Wildfire Loose describes how the fires started and spread so quickly through rural villages, down Millionaire’s Row in Bar Harbor, and across southern Maine beach resorts Nearby affected communities including Kennebunkport, Cape Porpoise, Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunk, Arundel and surrounding towns. Originally published in 1979, this thoroughly researched work remains the definitive factual account of “The Week Maine Burned.”
Author Joyce Butler has written eight books, including a two-volume history of the Kennebunks. A long-time resident of Kennebunk, Maine, she served for years as Town Historian and was curator at the Brick Store Museum for almost 20 years in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
