A fire broke out north of Courtenay Tuesday afternoon but left nobody injured.
Crews from the Courtenay, Oyster River, and Merville Fire Departments responded to the fire just before 2:00 p.m. on August 12.
The fire originated near a travel trailer on a residential property, quickly spreading due to high winds to an outbuilding and nearby grass and a small stand of trees.
Courtenay Fire Chief Kurt MacDonald said despite the blaze, no occupants were injured.
“The intense heat from the burning structures caused damage to the main residence, melting siding on the rear of the home.”
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
