Cedar Springs fire causes $75K in damages

No one was hurt when a building in Cedar Springs caught on fire.

At around 4 p.m. on Thursday, fire crews were called to a multi-unit building on Charing Cross Road.

The building was undergoing renovations, making it difficult for firefighters to find the origin of the blaze.

Crews were able to get the fire under control, with some staying behind to ensure the building was properly ventilated and that there were no remaining hot spots.

Talbot Trail was temporarily closed due to stretched supply lines across the highway. The road has since reopened.

It's believed the building sustained about $75,000 in damage.

The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.
