HOUSE FIRE IN CALEDON EAST
August 26, 2015 · 0 Comments
Caledon Fire and Emergency Services are investigating a fire Monday night that caused an estimated $450,000 in damage to a home on Atchison Drive in Caledon East. The fire department reports occupants of the house noticed the smell of smoke shortly after 10 p.m., and found the fire in the attached two-car garage. All five people in the house were able to get out and call 9-1-1. Crews found heavy flames in the garage when they arrived, and the fire quickly spread to the second floor and roof. Fire fighters initially used large master fire streams to knock down the large volume of flames in the garage prior to commencing an offensive attack using hand lines inside the house and garage, conducting a primary and secondary search of the dwelling. It took about an hour to bring the fire under control. Two vehicles in the driveway of the home and a boat on a neighboring property sustained fire damage. There was also some heat damage to the neighbouring house. There were no injuries. Seven fire apparatus and approximately 35 fire fighters were on scene.
