No one was injured when fire destroyed a home in Southwest Middlesex Sunday night.
All that was left standing at the home on Coltsfoot Drive in Newbury Monday morning were the remains of a frame at the front of where a house used to be.
Small hot-spots could be seen, and heavy smoke continued to blow across the roadway.
Neighbour Vance Blackmore, a former mayor of the municipality, smelled smoke a few minutes after 11 p.m. Sunday. As soon as he saw where it was coming from he called it in.
“The whole building was completely engulfed,” said Blackmore. “Flames were probably like 30 feet up in the air and there were a few little explosions going on couple times. Maybe propane tanks or something like that.”
About 25 firefighters in total from stations in Wardsville and Glencoe responded to the blaze. It took about an hour to put down, but fire officials monitored the home through the night for any potential flare-ups.
