A house in Enfield, N.S., went into flames Tuesday morning when no residents were at home.

The Enfield Fire Department received a call about a fire on White Road at 9:17 a.m.

Enfield crews had backup from Elmsdale, Lantz and HRM Station 45, Copp said.

Copp said no one was home when the fire started, except a dog that was rescued by neighbours before fire crews arrived. But the house isn’t in good shape.

“The structure is still standing but extensively damaged,” Copp said, adding that the house is not inhabitable.

After an investigation, the cause of the fire was determined to be accidental.
