Readfield Mobile Home Fire; Man Charged Arson

A Readfield, Maine, mobile home on Plains Road was destroyed by a fire early July 14, with officials noting the home was vacant and no injuries occurred. The Maine Fire Marshal’s Office subsequently arrested 45-year-old Shawn Sirios (also reported as Shawn Sirois), a homeless man who had been living in a vehicle, at the Readfield boat landing. He faces two counts of arson related to the Readfield blaze and was jailed in Kennebec County with bail set at $20,000 cash. Investigations by the Fire Marshal’s Office and local authorities confirmed the arson charges, and reports indicate the property was a vacant mobile home that burned down. Authorities emphasized there were no mentions of occupants or injuries linked to the incident. Additional updates across local outlets have consistently reported the same arrest and charges tied to the Readfield fire.
