Strathroy-Caradoc Fire Department Station 3 out of Melbourne was called out Wednesday afternoon just before 4:30pm to a house fire in Melbourne. All three stations responded to the call. The home owner, a new resident to Melbourne, was not home at the time of the fire but was able to be contacted a short time later. There was concern for a dog possibly still in the house but the Fire Department was happy to find out that the dog was with its owner. There was extensive damage to the interior of the house, but Melbourne Station 3 did a quick job knocking down the fire before the other two stations arrived on scene to help. No fire personnel were injured and cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
