Fire displaces 11 men from Moncton home
Fire crews in Moncton work to put out a fire on the city's east end. (CTV/Derek Haggett) A three-storey home in Moncton was extensively damaged by a fire early Thursday night. Moncton Fire Department acting Platoon Chief Jamie Rooney said they were called to a residence on Lester Street in the city's east end around 6:30 p.m. 'Lots of damage to the outside, rear of the structure and the fire got inside as well,' said Rooney. 'The smoke and water damage was pretty heavy.' Rooney said it was a tricky fire to fight because the structure is an older one. 'It was an older home with numerous ceilings,' said Rooney. 'We were there for a while. A few hours.' There were no injuries, and Rooney said the cause of the fire is under investigation. Shekinah Go director Cal Maskery posted a video of the fire at the Lester Street home shortly after 7 p.m. 'Our main building is on fire. We just got back from a park outreach, we got a call to come back. The whole back end of the building up to the roof is on fire,' said Maskery in the video. Shekinah Go is a faith-based organization that provides recovery from addiction, sober living and aftercare services while continuing support. 'We've got 11 guys that were staying in here,' said Maskery in his post. 'Some of these guys are on bail, some of them are on conditions. So please pray we have a resolve so we can help these guys move forward in a productive way.' Rooney said the Red Cross provided accommodations to the residents of the home. Maskery has agreed to provide more details to CTV News Friday afternoon. More to come…. Moncton fire Moncton fire responded to the fire on the city's east end.

Lithium ion battery or charger causes North End house fire
A house fire in Winnipeg's North End that forced people to flee from the home Thursday night has officials warning the public of possible hazards associated with plug-in lithium ion batteries and chargers. Fire crews arrived at a home on Magnus Avenue, between Salter and Andrews streets, just after 10 p.m. to find smoke billowing from a 1½-storey home. Everyone inside safely escaped prior to their arrival, a news release from the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said Friday. The initial findings suggest the fire was accidentally caused by a lithium-ion battery or charger that failed. The city is reminding the public of the potential fire risks associated with plugging in lithium ion batteries. The city recommends: Following manufacturer instructions. Only using cables and device batteries that come with items at point of purchase. Unplugging items when they're done charging. Charging items on hard surfaces, like tables and countertops. Avoiding charging on beds, couches, under pillows or on soft surfaces. Unplug if you ever notice an item giving off too much heat, making strange noises, leaking, changing colour or showing signs of corrosion, the city said.
