Deck Destroyed By Fire

E-mail Print PDF

Grey County, ON – Grey County OPP is investigating after the deck on a residence in Grey Highlands was destroyed by fire yesterday (05-Apr-10).

Aided by the high winds a fire engulfed a deck on a home situated on Johnston Side Road southeast of Markdale just after 2:30 pm yesterday. The fire was noticed by children in the area and attempts by neighbours to put it out failed. Fortunately, the Flesherton-Artemesia Fire Department attended and put the fire out before the fire spread to the home.

The damage to the deck is estimated at about $2,000.00.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. A shelter used to store firewood was also destroyed and is being considered as a possible source where the fire may have originated.

The fire does not appear to be suspicious but the investigation is continuing. 

Anyone with information that might assist is asked to contact Constable Richard Johnston who is the investigating officer.
