Wildfires raged across the state Sunday, destroying a shorefront home in Embden and touching off fires in Gouldsboro, Dedham, Etna, and Limington. Sunday’s wildfire danger map, which was posted on the Maine Forestry Service website, shows that all of the state was at high or very high risk of wildfires. Last week, two wildfires in northern Maine burned 280 acres, with the largest fire in Island Falls destroying 236 acres. A second fire in Baxter State Park burned 45 acres on Thursday.
