No injuries in Shipley Street basement fire
Multiple crews were required to bring a Shipley Street house fire under control at 10:30 am Thursday morning.
The first arriving Thunder Bay Fire Rescue unit was met by a resident of the home who had evacuated after being alerted by their smoke alarm. They said no other occupants were in the house, and they believed there was fire in the basement utility room.
Assistance was needed from Thunder Bay Police, Superior North EMS, Synergy North and Enbridge Energy before the blaze was extinguished. A total of 33 responders were at the scene.
The fire is currently under investigation.
The Thunder Bay Fire Rescue says they would like to remind the public that smoke alarms save lives, and never to re-enter a burning building.
