CTV
It’s been a busy night for the North Bay Fire Department which is working to contain a fire on Joseph Street in the city’s Ferris community. When crews arrived the garage was already engulfed.
North Bay fire crews remain on scene of a Monday night blaze in the city’s Ferris community.
Crews were called to a home on Joseph Street during the early evening hours to find the garage fully involved.
It didn’t take long for flames to extend to both the house and the attic.
Fire Chief Jason Whiteley told CTV News that crews did a primary and secondary search of the house and believe no one was home at the time.
Portions of the attic were still burning in around the 9pm hour.
No word yet from officials on what could have started the blaze but damage is believed to be extensive.
Federal cabinet ministers Filomena Tassi, Carla Qualtrough, and Dan Vandal announced Thursday they will not run for re-election. Senior government sources tell CTV News at least one other – Marie-Claude Bibeau – doesn't plan to run again, setting the stage for Justin Trudeau to shuffle his cabinet in the coming weeks.
