Fire causes 'substantial' damage at Springvale welding shop

Two buildings, a tractor and some other machinery at a welding shop in Springvale, P.E.I.,were destroyed by fire Monday.

Anson Grant, chief of the North River Fire Department, said when firefighters arrived on scene shortly before 1 p.m. the building were fully engulfed.

"The damage is quite substantial," Grant said.

"There was quite a few machines, tractors, et cetera, in the main building for sure, that are destroyed."

There were no injuries.

Grant said by late afternoon the fire was under control.

Charlottetown Station 2 and the New Glasgow Fire Department were also on scene.

The fire marshal is investigating the cause.
