Early morning fire significantly damages Halifax home

There were no injuries in an early morning fire in Halifax’s west end on Friday.

Occupants of a home on the corner of Bayers Road and Romans Avenue managed to escape shortly after the fire broke out.

Chuck Bezanson, division commander for Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency, said firefighters were called to the home shortly before 6 a.m.

“Crews had to advance three fire hoses into the house to extinguish the fire. The fire then went out pretty quickly,” he said
