A vacant home that burned late last year burned again on Tuesday afternoon.
A house at 679 Pritchard Ave. in the North End caught fire at about 4:30 p.m.
It appears the fire started in the garage and moved to the house, and also set a hydro pole on fire.
The home next door at 675 Pritchard Ave. also suffered damage, and a house on Manitoba Avenue was damaged as well.
