The fire was adjacent multiple rail cars that were carrying materials that are non-combustible and are not hazardous materials. CN Rail was contacted immediately and stopped trains from approaching the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire crews used water from a nearby fire hydrant to knock the fire down and suppress it until heavy machinery arrived to separate the pile at which point the fire could be extinguished. The fire did not damage any of the rail cars and did not affect any structures. No injuries have been reported. The fire resulted in the railway being shut down for multiple hours until the fire could be extinguished.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No cause of the fire has been determined. If you have any information on how the fire started contact the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department at 705-789-5201.<\/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>From the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department Around 9 p.m. on May 9, 2025, the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department responded to a reported grass fire near the train tracks [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":190607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-190603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
