Fire On The Peninsula

Flames could be seen billowing from an upper story window at a major fire at Carter's Point on the Kingston Peninsula. 

Fire departments from the Valley, Grand Bay-Westfield, Hampton, Belle Isle, Nauwigewauk, Greenwich and St. Martins have been called to extinguish the blaze at what is known as the Whepley Homestead. 

We're told the building might have been used as a hotel years ago.

The alarm was sounded after 6:00 this morning.
