Investigators are working to figure out what caused a fire that destroyed two homes in Dartmouth.
The fire broke out around 3:30 p.m. Sunday at 152 Lindenwood Terrace and spread to the house next door.
Regional fire spokesman Dave Meldrum tells Global News both homes were fully engulfed when crews arrived and the commander made the call to keep the firefighting efforts focused on saving other nearby homes from catching fire.
“Because of the amount of fire and amount of damage, our firefighters used what we call a defensive strategy,” he said. “So they fought this fire from outside, using heavy diameter hose lines.”
Power was shut off to the area for a few hours.
No one was injured.
