Fire destroys home on Highway 9, east of Kincardine

Kincardine firefighters not only had to battle the blaze, but also the elements, as they struggled to put out a house fire on the north side of Highway 9, east of Kincardine, overnight Saturday.

That section of roadway was still closed late Saturday as firefighters responded to the call, and the high wind and severely-cold temperature made it tough to extinguish the fire.

There is no cause or damage estimate available yet. The occupants of the house are currently staying with neighbours.
