One person was treated for smoke inhalation and a home in Hanover is heavily damaged after a fire.
Fire Chief Jeff Dentinger says the department was dispatched just after 7 p.m. Thursday to the house on 10th Avenue north of 10th Street.
Dentinger says more than one person was home at the time of the fire. All of them were able to get out, and just the one person was treated in hospital and released.
He says firefighters could see flames and smoke coming from the house when they arrived, but it wasn’t yet fully engulfed.
He says Walkerton and West Grey firefighters assisted, and firefighters were on site until about 11 p.m.
Dentinger says the Fire Marshal’s Office will assist with the investigation to determine the cause of the fire.
He notes working smoke detectors can save lives.
