The blaze started in the basement and spread to the main floor. Crews were able to stop its progress and neighbouring buildings weren’t damaged.

Burt noted while a dollar figure isn’t available yet, the damage from the flames and smoke is significant.

Two investigators have been assigned to the case, but Burt said the cause of the fire isn’t believed to be suspicious at this time.
