The Noyes Street fire was a fire in an apartment building in Portland, Maine, United States which killed 6 people. The building's landlord, Gregory Nisbet, was later convicted of misdemeanor fire code violations and spent 3 months in prison.[1] Located near the Portland campus of the University of Southern Maine, it occurred overnight on November 1, 2014, and was the deadliest fire in Maine since 1984.[2] The fire forced the city to address fire safety specifically and unsafe housing more broadly.[3]
