Firefighters said high winds caused the fire to spread to homes on both sides — as well as to a car.

Paramedics assessed two people at the scene, but no one was taken to hospital, and no injuries were reported.

In total, three homes were destroyed and cannot be reoccupied in the near future.

Residents displaced by the fire have all found alternate places to stay for the time being.
