Family dog rescued from Fort Frances house fire
It was a busy day for members of the Fort Frances Fire Rescue.
Firefighters were called to a house fire on Riverview Drive on Tuesday afternoon.
Only a family dog was inside and rescued.
It was treated at the scene by members of the Rainy River District Paramedic Services before being taken to a local vet and eventually returned to the family.
The house and a nearby camper trailer suffered heavy smoke and fire damage.
The cause of the fire has not yet been revealed.
The fire occurred on the same day that saw the department respond to several motor vehicle collisions and medical incidents alongside paramedics.
Officials say it was not until 11 p.m. that firefighters were able to take a well-deserved break.
