Large fire destroys home

Fire crews rushed to Parker Cove off Westside Road in the early morning hours of Saturday after neighbours called in a report of a house fire.

The fire, on the 200 block of Falcon Avenue, began at about 12:45 a.m. and quickly overtook the home.

John Colville, a neighbour, says the residents of the home were out of town during the fire and that it appears the house was a “total loss.”

Additionally, witnesses heard several small explosions during the fire and at least one propane tank exploded.

No adjacent buildings appeared affected during the massive blaze.

Fire officials are expected to be back at the house Saturday to investigate the cause of the fire.
