Firearms missing after house fire in Cramahe Township

A Cramahe Township home was destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon.

It's still not clear whether anyone was inside at the time as fire officials say flames were too intense for them to attempt to enter. Brighton, Hamilton Township, Alnwick/Haldimand Township and Trent Hills firefighters also assisted.
