The Mayor of Humber Arm South is thanking neighboring communities for helping battle a blaze that leveled a home in Frenchman’s Cove last night. Erica Humber Shears says firefighters were called to Strickland Road around 8 o’clock and experienced mechanical issues. She says Mount Moriah and Lark Harbour firefighters helped and kept the fire from spreading but the structure was a total loss. Humber-Shears says no one was injured but one resident was taken to hospital by ambulance as a precaution. She says the whole community is feeling this loss and will be there to help the displaced family who has a child with special needs. No word yet as to what may have started the fire but the RNC are investigating.
