A fire Monday night destroyed a home in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Firefighters were called to a blaze at a home on Pleasant Point Road, about 20 kilometres south of Little Britain.

Deputy fire chief Terry Jones says the home was fully involved when crews from three stations arrived around 11 p.m.

“It took us an hour to get it under control,” Jones told CHEX News on Tuesday morning at the scene. “We were fighting it for over three hours.”

Two adults were home at the time and got out of the single storey home safely, Jones said.
