Kincardine Fire and Emergency Services have provided an update to the fire at Sutton Park Inn.
In a post on their Twitter page, they say they have not found the cause of Wednesday’s fire but believe it was not deliberately set and therefore not suspicious in nature.
They go on to say that they would like to thank Saugeen Shores Fire, Ripley Huron Fire, and Bruce Power Fire, South Bruce OPP, and Bruce County EMS who through a mutual aid agreement were able to assist them in battling the blaze.
They also took the opportunity to thank nearby businesses (Rexall, Pizza Hut, and West Coast Catering) for helping crews stay hydrated and fed as they continued to work on containing the fire.
Another Bruce Power supplier has opened an office in Kincardine.
Nucleom, a Quebec-based company specializing in non-destructive testing and evaluation, will employ 40 people who will be taking part in Bruce Power’s Major Component Replacement Project.
The office is located on Mahood Johnston Drive next to the Kincardine Fire Station.
In a news release, Nucleom’s role in the project will be to examine the critical components of the Unit 6 reactor as part of the Feeder Installation execution phase of the project.
They go on to say Nucleom actively participates in research and development to establish novel technologies in the nuclear industry that will provide a safer working environment for workers while increasing productivity of the project.
South Bruce OPP have charged a driver after a single vehicle rollover in Kincardine. Police say both the driver and passenger were found with non-life.
