An overnight fire caused $800,000 worth
of damage to a south west Hamilton home, after firefighters battled a
third floor blaze.
Crews were called to the home – on
Undercliffe Avenue – around 10:19 p.m. Upon arrival, the homeowners were

Firefighters went inside but were forced
to retreat due to instability of the roof. Shortly after they got out, a
portion of the roof collapsed. At this point it became a defensive
attack on the fire, to protect the homes on either side.
Thankfully, the fire did not spread. But
the home sustained hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage due to
the fire and water.
