Monday Add-on





O-D story

WATERVILLE — Fifteen people were displaced by an early morning fire on Sanger Avenue.

The blaze broke out sometime after midnight in the rear of the Victorian house at 180-182 Sanger Ave., Hannelore Goedeker said. She owns the building with her husband, Werner.

She said there are four apartments in the building.

Hannelore Goedeker said all residents escaped unharmed and are staying with family and friends.

“We can’t replace somebody’s life, but you can replace a building,” she said this morning. “I don’t think that the building is a total loss. It just needs to be gutted out and redone. If you have enough money, anything can be fixed, it’s just a matter of cost.”

Insurance adjusters were on the scene this morning evaluating the damage.
