Investigators are still trying to determine the cause and extent of damage to a King Township home that was gutted by fire May 25.
The call on Manitou Drive was received at 10:30 a.m. that Monday morning and when emergency crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed.
King Fire Chief Jim Wall said firefighters had to take a defensive stance to get the blaze under control. Firefighters from three stations, along with seven trucks, were on scene. He said it took them just under an hour to get the fire under control.
Crews remained on site until 9 p.m. that night.
York Regional Police were also on the scene, as was the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal, and Emergency Management.
No one was in the home at the time of the fire.
Damage is estimated at $500,000.
