Two families lost everything in the blaze. Donations have been accepted at Canadian Tire and at a house on Elm Street. The fire was under investigation, but at present time, no information has been released with regards to the cause of the fire. 

The fire took place about a month and a half ago, but the house is still standing. The Shiretown Blogger snapped a few pictures of the damaged structure this afternoon. 




There is little to nothing around the perimeter of the structure to act as a safety barrier to prevent the public from gaining access to the structure or to keep the public safe from any falling debris. The Shiretown Blogger has sent a letter to Town of Woodstock Chief Administrative Officer Ken Harding about the issue. Stay tuned for details.
