All residents of a Keswick home were able to escape a fire on Tuesday morning.
The grass fire began on Lake Drive around 2:15 a.m. and quickly grew to engulf the house and nearby shed.
“We received a report of a grass fire. En route, crews were updated that this fire was now part of a structure fire. When crews arrived, we had two structures on fire,” Georgina fire chief Ron Jenkins said at the scene.
“The house has been destroyed.”
The cause of the fire is not yet known and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office is investigating.
The damage is estimated at $700,000 to $800,000.
