No injuries in Cobourg house fire

Damage is estimated at $50,000 following a early morning house fire in Cobourg on Monday.
Around 2:15 a.m., members of the Cobourg Fire Department responded to a structure fire on Cornell Crescent.
When fire crews arrived, the homeowner was using a garden hose to try and douse the flames at the side of the house.
