Falconbridge fire leaves two homeless

A mid-day house fire on May 10 caused $200,000 worth of damage to a Falconbridge bungalow and left two people homeless.

Greater Sudbury Fire Service responded to a house fire at 6 Chesser St. at about 12:09 p.m. A total of 16 firefighters from five different stations attended.

No one was injured in the incident.

Greater Sudbury Fire Services reminds residents that every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. Residents are encouraged to test their smoke alarms once a month and replace the batteries every year.

Smoke alarms can increase the chances of surviving a fire by up to 50 per cent.
