Brockville emergency crews were called to another structure fire on September 2nd, around 7:45 a.m., at 46 Pearl Street West. This marks the third significant fire in the community in just three weeks.
The Brockville Fire Department quickly confirmed that all occupants were safely out of the building. No injuries were reported, though the property sustained significant damage. Police secured the area, redirecting traffic so firefighters could work safely to bring the situation under control.
The investigation is ongoing, led by the Office of the Fire Marshal with assistance from Brockville Police. Officials note that all structure fires are treated as suspicious until a cause can be determined. Investigators are working to establish whether the fire was accidental or involved criminal activity. Updates on the cause will be released once the investigation is complete.
