Strong Winds Hamper Fighting P'Ville Fire

The strong winds we had been experiencing during the weekend's coastal storm ratcheted up the difficulty of fighting this fire.

"Strong winds made conditions challenging, and crews worked quickly to keep the flames from spreading"...

The firefighters were successful in keeping the blaze contained, but the house was a complete loss. No one was injured in the fire.
