Cooking fire causes significant damage to Fort Richmond home

No one was injured following a fire Thursday evening in Fort Richmond.  

Fire crews were called to a single-family bungalow on Purdue Bay just before 8 p.m. yesterday. 

Smoke was coming from the house when crews arrived. Firefighters were able to enter the home and fight the blaze form inside. It took about an hour to get the fire under control.

Everyone in the home was able to evacuate safely before crews arrived. No injuries were reported.

Preliminary observations suggest the fire was accidental, caused by unattended cooking.
