There were no injuries in a house fire yesterday in Owen Sound.
City firefighters were called to a blaze on 3rd Avenue East near the bottom of St. Mary’s hill around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, and arrived to find smoke coming from the home.
Owen Sound Fire Chief Phil Eagleson told the Sun Times a fire started in the basement and spread to other areas of the house. Bayshore Broadcasting News was unable to reach Eagleson for an interview.
Firefighters managed to save the structure, but the home suffered heavy smoke damage.
No one was hurt. The home’s occupants were not there when the blaze broke out.
The cause of the fire is undetermined. The Ontario Fire Marshal has been called in to aid the investigation.
