On June 2, 2014, at approximately 2:35 a.m., Emergency Services attended the 1800 block of 9th Avenue East for a house fire. The fire was at the rear of the house and had spread to an upper deck and roof of the residence. The owner of the house woke to discover the fire and escaped without injury. Fire crews quickly battled the blaze and prevented it from spreading to a neighbouring house which received some minor damage due to the heat generated from the fire. The fire initially appeared to be suspicious and investigators from the Ontario Fire Marshalls Office were called in to investigate. The scene was secured by the Owen Sound Police during the investigation. Investigators from the Fire Marshalls Office along with officers from the fire department and the Owen Sound Police Service examined the scene through the afternoon and evening. While the fire remains under investigation, it no longer appears to be suspicious or deliberately set.
