A fire destroyed a home in Upper Sackville on Saturday morning. No one was injured, but a man was treated at hospital in Moncton for smoke inhalation, according to the Red Cross.
The RCMP say the fire is suspicious and under investigation.
Sackville Fire Department Chief Craig Bowser says SFD was dispatched to a call around 6am on Saturday morning for a “fully involved structure fire.” Bowser requested mutual aid from Dorchester and Point de Bute fire departments, for water resources. There were approximately 30 firefighters on site, says Bowser, and none were injured in the operation. The fire department was on the scene until around 12pm, says Bowser, returning later throughout the day to douse hot spots.
Bowser says the house was completely destroyed, and the fire marshall has completed their investigation on Saturday. Fire marshall reports in New Brunswick are not released publicly.
The Red Cross says volunteers arranged emergency lodging and meals for the victims pending further help from insurers.
