Provincial police have identified the three victims of last month’s deadly house fire in Chesley, Ont.

Emergency crews responded to a fire involving more than one house on 5th Avenue Southwest in Chesley around 2:20 a.m. on June 11.

Two structures and a single-family dwelling were involved through direct contact with the blaze or exposure to the heat, according to Robert Bell, chief of the Chesley Fire Department, in an interview with 980 CFPL last month.

Few details have been made public about the fire. South Bruce OPP said at the time that an adult and young child managed to escape the fire and were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
