A young family of three is staying with family after a fire destroyed their home in Pleasant River. The North Queens Fire Association called on mutual aid from Liverpool and Hemford and Annapolis Royal stood by. Highway 208 was blocked off to traffic for several hours Wednesday. The two-story dwelling was fully engulfed in flames when members arrived on scene. There were no injuries as both parents were at working at the time and their pre-schooler was in daycare. The cause of the fire, which was reported around 10:30 yesterday morning, is under investigation. The home was insured. Canadian Red Cross volunteers will be assisting with emergency food, replacement clothing and personal-care items. Pleasant River is about 30 kilometres west of Bridgewater.
