Yesterday evening at 11:50pm we received a call for a possible structure fire on the Lower Southside.

And this morning at 2:25am we were called for a structure fire on Pond Side Road. We were on scene for over 4hrs in order to bring the fire under control and extinguish it. We would like to thank our mutual aid departments from Harbour Grace and Victoria for assisting with the incident.
