A King Street home was gutted and one person taken to hospital in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, according to Sackville Fire Department Deputy Chief Mike Green.
The department attended the house fire on King Street at about 2am Tuesday morning, says Green, and found the house “totally involved.”
The occupants of the house were sitting in a car in the driveway at the time. Ambulance NB attended to a woman and her adult son, and transported the man to the Moncton hospital to attend to burn injuries.
The Canadian Red Cross says volunteers arranged emergency lodging and meals for the woman, and further help may be provided once needs are known.
RCMP were also at the scene.
No firefighters were harmed in fighting the blaze, which finished up around 5:30am.
Green says the house is “still standing but is totally gutted inside.”

Update: Second fire call on King Street on Monday
The Sackville Fire Department also responded to another call on King Street earlier on Monday evening, but that call was related to burnt food, and there were no injuries, according to Green.
The RCMP also attended that call, and arrested a man at the scene who was later released without charge. The arrest was unrelated to the fire, according to RCMP Corporal Brian Villers.
