House fires in Caraquet and Sainte-Anne-de-Kent have left eight people homeless.

A couple and two young children escaped their two-story house unharmed after it caught fire Saturday in Sainte-Anne-de-Kent on Saturday.

In Anse-Bleue north of Caraquet, a couple and their two adult sons lost their two-story home, belongings and a vehicle to a fire on Friday.

No one was home at the time.

Red Cross volunteers assisted both families.
