The blaze at the home on Bear Run Road in Gorham was reported around 6:43 p.m. Sunday. Fire crews arrived shortly after to find flames jutting out from the home’s first-floor windows.

Fire Chief Robert Lefebvre says the victim was found by firefighters once they entered the burning three-bedroom structure. The man, whose identity wasn’t released, was already dead.

Firefighters from Windham responded to help Gorham crews extinguish the blaze. Officials say most of the damage at the 1 ½-story property was contained to the kitchen and first floor.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation. Lefebvre says it doesn’t appear to be suspicious.
