Petrolia house fire causes extensive damage

Damage is estimated at $150,000 following a house fire in Petrolia Wednesday morning.

Crews from Petrolia and North Enniskillen, Oil Springs, and Wyoming responded to a home on Garden Crescent just before 10:30 a.m.

Petrolia Fire Chief Jay Arns said no injuries were reported, and the cause of the blaze is under investigation.

"There were workers on site doing some work [when the fire started]," he said. "We're not 100 per cent certain that's what caused it at this point, and we're still investigating."

Arns said the two workers and one occupant were able to get out safely.
