House fire in Brighton

Fire destroyed a 135 year old home in Brighton overnight.

Firefighters were called out after 11 o clock last night to a fully involved 2 storey duplex at 35 Division Street, near downtown Brighton.

The home was gutted. Brighton Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson says it appears the fire started at the back of the house.

The cause is under investigation, but is not considered suspicious.

The occupants were home at the time, but there were no injuries.

The Cramahe Township fire department assisted with the fire.

Meanwhile, the Brighton fire department also dealt with a car fire and a medical call last night.
