City Fire crews called to a house fire on the east side late yesterday afternoon. District Chief Joe Armstrong says the call came in from 18 Belgrave Street with heavy fire coming from the second floor. There was some fire damage caused to the vinyl siding of a neighbouring home.
A mother and her three children managed to get out safely and the cause is believed to be accidental.
In Chipman, there was no one home when a mid-afternoon fire at 338 Red Bank Drive gutted a house being rented by a couple and three children ranging in age from two to 10.
