Fueled by gusty winds, the fire at the Days Inn of Kittery was reported around 12:30 p.m. and quickly spread, sending plumes of thick black smoke into the air that could be seen for miles around.
Southbound train #680 struck an "individual on the tracks" west of Main Street in Biddeford around 6:05 a.m., according to Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams.
