One injured in Corunna fire

The Independent

One person was injured in a fire south of Corunna.

Firefighters from Corunna, Brigden and Courtright were called to Rokeby Line around noon Monday and found smoke coming through the windows of the split level brick home.

St Clair Township Fire Chief Richard Boyes says one man – believed to be the homeowner – was taken to hospital with unknown injuries. A woman in the home was not hurt.

Boyes says the department is investigating the possibility the man was doing renovations in the basement.

Because of the injury to the homeowner, Boyes says the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office may be involved in the investigation.

The chief says there is extensive damage to the basement and in part of the second floor of the home and there is smoke damage throughout the building.
