Investigations Launched Into A Pair Of Fires

Two fires last night are under investigation to determine how they got started.

Acting Platoon Chief Roy Byers says the first one broke out around 7:30 on the east side destroying a storage shed at 105 Westmorland Road. The heat from that fire was so intense the siding on two nearby homes melted.
 

As fire crews were cleaning up from that, a call came in about another fire in a large warehouse at 62 St. James Street. There was significant smoke, fire and water damage to the building but no one was injured. Fire crews were on the scene for five hours.
