Hanwell fire contained to garage

The Upper Kingsclear Fire Department was called to a fire early Monday morning in the Starlite Village neighbourhood of Hanwell.

The department says crews were able to put the fire out quickly and save a house and contain the damage to a garage.

Firefighter Adam Mitton said an adult went to stay with family for the night. No one was hurt

The cause is under investigation.

About 20 firefighters from the Kingsclear department responded. Mitton says they had trucks from the Hanwell and Upper Kingsclear stations. Mutual aid was called in from New Maryland.

At the start of 2015, Hanwell turned to the Upper Kingsclear department for fire protection after objecting to the cost of having fire protection provided by the Fredericton Fire Department.
