Thompson fire and emergency services are investigating last night’s house fire on Westwood Drive.

Fire chief John Maskerine says they got the call a little after 7 last night:

"Area ladder was placed into service and fire was brought under control very quickly but getting to the hotspots and mop up was a lengthy operation. There was no injurieis to the residents or to any of our fire fighting crew but I have to take my hat off to the crew, it was a very difficult fire to get at".

A good Samaritan driving by noticed the flames and alerted the residents inside.
