Emergency crews were alerted at 5:58 p.m. that a home located at C138 Sand Bay Road was on fire. The Shawville Clarendon Fire Department responded with four trucks and 18 firefighters.

Chief Lee Laframboise said that when his crews arrived . . .

the building was fully engulfed. No one was inside the home at the time of the blaze.

While the department was dealing with the burning house, they received another call around 8:30. At the time, Laframboise explained that the Bristol Fire Department was on standby, and firefighters from both departments responded to the second call.

“We had another call for smoke on the 11th Line, that was at 8:30ish,” he said. “A couple of my firemen and some Bristol guys went to that one, it didn’t turn out to be much of anything.”

Crews were on scene extinguishing the fire for four or five hours and Laframboise said that the cause is still under investigation.
