The fire was quickly located and extinguished by fire crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The occupants, who were working outside at the time of the fire, were alerted by the sound of smoke alarms coming from the home. Upon checking, they noticed smoke inside the home and flames near one of the bedrooms. They attempted to extinguish the fire but were forced to evacuate because of the smoke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One male occupant was assessed by Muskoka Paramedic Services for minor smoke inhalation but did not require transportation to hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith working smoke alarms and the occupants closing the doors as they evacuated the home, fire damage was limited to the room of origin and spared the home from heavy damage,\u201c said interim fire chief Larry Brassard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the home suffered smoke damage. Total damage is estimated at $50,000. The cause is believed to have started from a candle that was placed too close to combustibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead of candles, we recommend choosing CSA approved battery-powered candles.\u201d said fire prevention officer Mike Vadlja. \u201cIf you must use real candles, extinguish all lit candles before leaving the room or going to sleep and keep lit candles well away from anything that can burn.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire just after 3 p.m. on Concession 2\/3 Road West in Huntsville yesterday afternoon.
