The State Fire Marshal’s Office says a Rumford man has been charged with arson in connection with a fire in Temple on December 20.

53-year-old James Bigos was arrested on New Year’s Eve.

Investigators say he started a fire that destroyed a shed and damaged a home on Temple Road.

The home is owned by Daniel Williams. Police say Williams is dating Debbie Bigos, James Bigos' ex-wife.

Williams used a garden hose to limit the damage to his home.

No one was injured in the fire.
