Fire damaged a new home in the Hillside Meadows subdivision of Cornwall, P.E.I., late Monday night.
North River fire Chief Anson Grant says construction was almost complete and people were due to move into the home this week.
He said some of the floor structure was burned away from inside the house. There was also heavy smoke and water damage. Substantial repairs will have to be done before it can be lived in.

No matter where you look in the P.E.I. Firefighters Association s fire training facility, you ll be sure to find a reminder of Chief Miles Boulter.
From the countless plaques on the walls in the office to every piece of gear and the trucks themselves, Boulter left his mark on everything.
After all, the school is called Boulter Station. It s on Miles Boulter Drive, just outside of Charlottetown. They were both named in his honour in 2012 to celebrate 40 years of service.
