Multiple crews responded to the blaze. When firefighters arrived on scene, the back of the home was on fire.
“When they arrived on scene, they made a very quick fire attack knocking the fire out that was in the rear of the building, in the kitchen area,” said Stephen Turner, acting division commander with Halifax Fire.
Turner says no one was home when the fire started.
“Nobody was hurt, it’s a good day.”
The cause of the fire remains under investigation at this time.
