South Barrie Fire Forces Family Into Temporary Accommodations

Heavy smoke damage in home

A house fire Thursday afternoon on Cedar Crescent in South Barrie appears to have started in the garage, with smoke spreading to the house causing extensive damage. It may be several months before the family can move back in. Insurance will cover their housing costs in the meantime. The blaze is believed to have been accidental.
