Sirens sounded late Sunday night as local firefighters rushed to the scene where the building was already ablaze. The fire spread quickly and firefighters worked hard throughout the night and into the early morning hours hosing down the hotspots. Tracy Medeiros, an employee at the Shell Gas Bar said she first noticed smoke when the sirens went off, but hadn't seen the flames until she looked out- side to see what the commotion was about. Traffic was re-routed in order to bypass the main intersection, which was blocked due to hoses and emergency vehicles. According to Deputy Fire Chief Tom Phillips, the owners were not home at the time of the blaze, but had been con- tacted by the fire department, as well as the OPP. A handfull of residents were asked to evacuate their homes Tracy Medeiros, for the Expositor as a precautionary measure and were directed to the legion, who opened their doors for those in need of somewhere to go. Damage to the building was extensive and it is possible the structure may need to be lev- eled due to safety reasons. As of press time Monday morning, no known cause had been released.
