Several pets were rescued by the firefighters in Dresden on Saturday night, after a fire broke out in the North Kent community.
Crews from Dresden and Tupperville got the call to 472 Richmond Street in Dresden at 7:15 p.m.
Bob Davidson, assistant fire chief, said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
“Upon arrival they discovered a significant working fire,” Davidson said in a press release.
“Fast action by the firefighters prevented the fire from spreading into the remainder of the main fire occupancy and the adjacent occupancies. One neighbouring home sustained minor damage. There were no injuries.”
A total of $100,000 in damage was caused to the home, while $30,000 in damage to the home’s contents was destroyed.
Fire officials say $300,000 worth of property was saved.
Chatham-Kent Police Service officials say the fire was deemed not suspicious.
