In Local

Cobourg Fire Department attended the Cobourg Marina after a wooden flower pot caught fire on the centre pier on Wednesday, September 30, 2020.

Marina staff called the fire department at approximately 1:44 p.m. after discovering the fire that appeared to have been burning for several hours.
