Phillips, Strong, Kingfield continue exploring school district withdrawal

Three of the four towns served by Phillips-based Maine School Administrative District 58 are exploring withdrawing from the district.

The Monday morning blaze on West Kingfield Road started around a woodstove, the fire chief said.

It took firefighters nearly 45 minutes to locate the fire spotted by a Phillips resident on Wheeler Hill Road through the ridgeline.

The 66th Phillips Old Home Days drew big crowds with races, parades, tournaments, and community celebrations.

Christopher Steward, 53, who works for the town of Phillips, was not injured but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Avon, Kingfield, and Phillips approve budget while Strong narrowly opposes it.

Kingfield will vote in September on whether to explore leaving Maine School Administrative District 58, home of Mt. Abram High School.
