From the Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department
On July 7, around 6:40 p.m., Huntsville/Lake of Bays firefighters from Station One in Huntsville and Station Five in Port Sydney responded to a report of a structure fire on Ravensglen Crescent.
Upon arrival, firefighters discovered the remnants of a small fire in one of the bedrooms. The fire had started from an unsupervised candle. The house occupants had extinguished the fire prior to the fire department’s arrival. The damage is estimated to be around five thousand dollars.
The Fire Department reminds residents that it is important to put burning candles out when you leave the room and make sure they are completely out at night before you go to bed and not still smouldering. If a fire occurs in your home or workplace, get out and stay out, and call 911 from outside of the building and away from danger. Even a small fire can grow rapidly.
