Sackville firefighters did all they could to contain a house fire on Fairfield Road last Thursday night but they weren't able to save the home from the fiery blaze.
"The house was fully engulfed when we arrived at the scene," said Fire Chief Craig Bowser.
Bowser said more than two dozen members of the fire department helped fight the flames at 209 Fairfield Road Thursday night after a call came in from a neighbour just after 10 p.m. When arriving at the scene, the fire chief said he had to make several phone calls to confirm everyone was out of the house. Fortunately, he said, the occupants were not at home when the fire started.
"Everyone's safe, and that's the main thing."
Bowser said because of the extent of the damage inside the structure, which he deemed unsafe after assessing the scene, the firefighters had to fight the fire from outside.
"The house was completely destroyed."
The cause of the blaze is still unknown.
"The fire is still under investigation . . . but it's not suspicious at this point," said Bowser.
