Close to 80 firefighters were called to battle an early morning fire in a residential area of Bridgewater. The fire was reported shortly before 5 o'clock this morning at a home on LaHave Street just across from the Superstore. Fire Chief Wayne Thorburne says crews were able to contain the fire quickly and keep it from spreading to neighbouring homes in the area. He says an investigation into its cause will take place.
Thorbune says a family of three lived in the basement of the home but they were away when the fire broke loose. The scene is covered in yellow tape and more information on the nature of the investigation is expected to be released in the near future.
