October 22, 2024 – At approximately 4:30 a.m. on October 22, 2024 the Adjala-Tosorontio Fire Department (ATFD) responded to a confirmed structure fire on Marigold Boulevard. Upon arrival crews identified a newly constructed home with heavy smoke and working fires on both levels.

ATFD firefighters with the help of Chief Heydon and New Tecumseth Fire and Emergency Services brought the fire under control quickly. Houses on both sides of the incident avoided any structural damage, as a result of an aggressive, well coordinated defensive attack.

The fire is under investigation by the Nottawasaga detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, with an estimated dollar loss valued at $2,500,000. The home was unoccupied at the time and there were no reported injuries.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors are required by law. If you require assistance, please contact ATFD at fire@adjtos.ca
