Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) responded to a "stubborn" fire just after midnight on Nov. 19, 2022.

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­firefighters responded to an overnight fire on Saturday (Nov. 19).

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) Fire Chief, Karen Fry, shared on Twitter that crews "were on scene overnight at a stubborn fire in the 1400 block of E 1st Ave."

Assistant Chief Nock tells V.I.A. that the second alarm fire started just after midnight. "It was a two and a half storey home," he says. 

Nock says that the building was vacant at the time of the fire except for a few "squatters" that were in the building. "We had a previous fire there," he adds. 

Despite icy and cold conditions, VFRS crews were able to get the fire "under control and protect the neighbouring buildings," says Fry.
