Fire Closes Off Section of Railway Street

For the second time in 10 days, fire has caused extensive damage to
buildings on Railway Street.

A blaze broke out to a home shortly before 1:00 this morning and spread to a garage and also a nearby business on Railway Street.

Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says fortunately the occupants of the house
were able to escape unharmed.

In the meantime, he says that section of Railway Street all the way from Pro-Auto Glass to the Treaty Three railway crossing has been blocked off.

He says they still have a number of hose lines set out in the area and a large
number of their trucks are still in service.

He says the fire is under control, but no cause has been determined.

The fire broke out across the street from another blaze which destroyed a home back on October 24th.
