Fire threatens historic Kee to Bala

Just before 6 a.m. on Easter Monday morning, firefighters from Bala, Torrance, Foots Bay, Walkers Point, Glen Orchard & Port Carling were summoned to a reported structure fire at The KEE to Bala.

Upon arrival, officials with the Muskoka Lakes Fire Department determined that an exterior fire was burning behind Bala Falls Pub, adjacent to the Kee.

Crews quickly knocked down the flames with a practiced “fast attack,” preventing the fire from spreading to any structures. There were no injuries.

Damage was estimated at 20k. An investigation is pending.

Following the fire at the Bala Falls Pub, here is what the Bala Falls Pub posted on their social media site:

“So the Pub has a boo boo. NO ONE IS HURT… but we will NOT be open today. Thanks to these rockstars it is a manageable ouchie! Little more than polysporin… more like triple action polysporin, but we got this! A million and one thanks to @muskokalakesfd @muskokafire”
