Fire on the weekend destroyed a two-apartment house in Carbonear.
Volunteer Fire Chief Trevor Crawford says the house was fully engulfed when they arrived early Saturday night, so they switched to a defensive attack. There were no injuries.
The house, on Adelaide Street, is near others so RCMP went door-to-door alerting residents as there was heavy smoke in the area.
Carbonear firefighters were on the scene for about six hours.
Police have the property taped off as they investigate the cause.
