No one was injured after an early-morning fire at a Carrying Place home on County Road 64 Friday, but a family dog has perished in the blaze, say officials.
Quinte West Fire and Emergency Services Chief John Whalen told MBC that the call for a structure fire came in at about 9:30 a.m. Friday, March 6, 2026.
He said the house was “fully involved” when crews arrived on scene. It took more than 20 firefighters to battle the blaze and tankers were also brought in from three Quinte West fire stations.
All occupants of the home made it out safely, said Whalen.
In an afternoon update, Whalen said the cause of the blaze has gone down as undetermined at this point. The fire caused about $600,000 in damages, he added.
Alongside firefighters, OPP, paramedics and Hydro One and Victim Services personnel also responded to the scene Friday.
County Road 64 between Carter Road and Barcovan Beach Road was closed for the bulk of the day but has since reopened to all traffic.
