The Deputy Chief of the Richer Fire Department has released more information regarding a fire that destroyed a home Tuesday.

Don McDougall says they got the alarm around 9:00 a.m. for a home along Road 39 North near Provincial Road 302, just northeast of La Broquerie. He adds the one-and-a-half storey home was engulfed in flames when they arrived. McDougall says the Office of the Fire Commissioner determined the cause was probably electrical. He adds there was no one home at the time of the blaze. The Giroux Fire Department assisted in fighting the fire.
