No Injuries After House Fires In Shelburne County

As if a snowstorm, hurricane force winds, storm surges and power outages weren't enough for Shelburne County, there were also a pair of house fires over the weekend. A man and his adult son escaped unharmed from one blaze late Saturday in their home on Sandy Point Road, about eight kilometres south of the Town of Shelburne. No word yet on a cause of the fire. Meanwhile, a woman was forced from her home by a fire around 4 a.m. Saturday in Barrington. There was considerable fire, smoke and water damage to the home and firefighters think it began around a wood stove. The woman wasn't hurt and is staying with nearby relatives for now.
