No serious injuries were reported following a house fire in Summerside’s Hillcrest neighbourhood Tuesday evening, the city’s fire department says.
The fire department received a call about the blaze on Holman’s Court at about 6:45 p.m., and flames and smoke were visible from outside when crews arrived, according to a news release from the Summerside Fire Department.
Crews put out the fire and remained on site overnight as a precaution, the release said.
Some tenants were assessed on the scene for smoke inhalation, but no serious injuries were reported, the release said.
The cause of the fire is attributed to a stovetop fire, and has been ruled “accidental in nature,” the P.E.I. Fire Marshals Office said Wednesday.
