LITTLE BAY, N.L — A home in the Little Bay area of Marystown was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning, May 13.

Fire Chief Alex Coady told the Southern Gazette that the Marystown Volunteer Fire Department received a call about the fire at approximately 2:25 a.m. on Sunday.

“We responded with engine 3, (the) rescue (and) with the ladder apparatus, and 15 firefighters,” the chief said.

With the fire extinguished, Coady said they returned to the fire hall at approximately 6:30 a.m. to do clean up.
