On Tuesday, the Fire Marshal began investigating an early morning fire that destroyed the mobile home at 625 Plains Road.

Following days of investigation, Fire Marshal investigators arrested Shawn Sirios, 45, who is homeless, while he was at the Readfield boat landing.

Investigators learned that he had been staying in a vehicle.

He was charged with two counts of arson and transported to the Kennebec County Jail, where he is being held on $20,000 bail.

Marshals did not include any details on how the fire was started.
