"At just before 2 a.m. this morning North Bay firefighting crews from all three stations responded to a report of a structure fire at 836 Worthington Street East.  The first arriving units arrived on the scene within four minutes of the call and found the home was suffering a significant amount of fire damage with flames shooting out of the windows at the rear of the home."  

Saunders says all residents were reported to be out of the home on Fire Department arrival.

"The fire is currently under control with firefighters working to manage hot spots within the structure," Saunders said.   

"The cause of the fire is under investigation by fire prevention investigators."

The firefighters also had to deal with bone-chilling cold temperatures which were around -30 with the wind chill.
