The blaze began in a home and spread to two cottages nearby

 

The Ontario Fire Marshal is continuing the investigation into a fire in Prince Edward County from January 5.

Around 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, multiple crews and halls were called to Treasure Cove Lane, which is a small private laneway off County Road 7, southeast of Glenora.

The blaze began in a home and spread to two cottages nearby, with some outbuildings also damaged.

County Fire Chief Chad Brown:


The exact cause of the fire is not known at this time.

Brown says crews were able to save two adjacent homes, which would have caused millions more in damage.

No injuries took place.

Chief Brown added, “We are asking the public to ensure their property is maintained through the winter, so emergency services have access to your property. Snow and obstructions like trees and steep grades slow emergency response significantly.”
