A house fire in the 900 block of Fuller Avenue has caused significant damage, leaving at least one local family without a home.
The fire started at around 8 a.m. Tuesday, neighbours said, and flames soon engulfed the home and were threatening the next-door property.
Vehicles could be seen completely burned out in the garage, which was totally destroyed by flames.
A witness told Global News said they heard a small explosion prior to the fire as they got ready for work in the morning. Shortly after the explosion an RCMP officer was on the scene.
