Firefighters contain north-side blaze

The cause of a fire that destroyed a boat, trailer and truck on the city’s north side is under investigation.

According to Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services officials, crews responded to residential structure fire around 3:49 p.m. Sunday Nov. 8. A total of 19 firefighters from four stations responded to the fire, which is said to have originated outside the building and had spread to the attic before firefighters arrived.

Strong wind gusts are reported to have fuelled the blaze, but crews were able to prevent it from spreading to neighbouring buildings.
