HOUSE ON FIRE!!! Homestead Rd, Salisbury New Brunswick

Moncton Fire Dept had to respond to this house fire at 46593 Homestead Rd. ( Old Trans Canada) because Salisbury Fire had no manpower at the time. Riverview & Petticodiac Fire Depts. also responded. House was fully engulfed and at one time a fireman said there were people trapped. You could see the smoke from miles away. Fire call came in at 2:17pm and at 2:33pm everyone was out of the home.
Ambulance was needed at the scene and by 3:10pm Firefighters had the fire knocked down. There were guns and 500 rounds of Ammunition going off making it dangerous for Firefighters. District 11 RCMP were on scene & Fire Investigator was being called to the fire.

TheGovernment should make it law so Volunteer Firefighters can leave work in Emergencies. Employers & Government's should WAKE UP!!!

Video aired on CBC & CTV news & 2 Bon'heures with Marie-Emma Parenteau TV Rogers. Lead story on Global News with Dave Crase. CNN & CNN Headline News.

UPDATE: Chris Lewis and his Family are homeless once again as this is the second fire the family has lived through . In May 05 they lost there farm house to a fire. Family lost all there possessions but are thankful everyone is ok.

it was a electric baseboard heater , if anything gets under them like toys ect it can cause a fire ... people think electricity is a safe way to heat but not always
