An investigation into a recent house fire on Willowdale Street in the city's east end has concluded, with no cause being determined.
Aaron Gravelle, fire prevention officer with the Sault Ste. Marie Fire Services, said Friday there was significant damage to the detached garage and home, along with the camper trailer parked in the driveway.
"Our Fire Prevention Officer has declared that fire 'undetermined' after completing his investigation," said Gravelle.
It was determined through the investigation that the fire started in the garage, said Gravelle.
The 911 call came in at about 6:30 p.m. on Monday for the fire in the 0-100 block of Willowdale Street.
At about the same time the call came in, a huge column of black smoke could be seen rising above the scene, visible from many points across the city.
Firefighters arrived on scene to find a fire in a detached garage behind the home, as well as flames on the second floor and roof of the nearby home.
Fire crews were able to extinguish the bulk of the fire by about 7:15 p.m. No injuries were reported.
