Fire crews in western Labrador rushed to the scene of a house fire early Thursday morning that lit up the mining town's sky with flames. Fire Chief Marv Butler says crews were called to a Wabush home around 6:30 a.m. By mid-afternoon, it was under control and handed over to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. We tried to gain access, to attack and it just wasn't safe to do so," said Butler late Thursday afternoon. ⚠️ADVISORY⚠️ Residents of Wabush are advised of on-going firefighting efforts in the area of Anderson Avenue. "When I got there, the entire house, from bottom to top, was in flames," he said.
