Fire, Water Main Break Keep Crews Busy

Two people are temporarily homeless after a house fire at 915 Redhead Road. Fire crews recieved that call around 8pm, and managed to contain the blaze to the bathroom and hall area of a home. Six pieces of fire aparatus stayed on the scene for 3 hours and investigators are still working on figuring out thecase of the blaze although it is not being treated as suspcious at this point.

Fire Crews also responded to an alarm at 112 Prince Edward Square where they found low-level readings of natural gas. The situation was turned over to Enbridge Natural Gas.

Reports are also coming in of a major water main break around Staples on Rothesay avenue around 5:40 this morning. City Works is working to contain that break but there are several feet of water in that area.
