In Local, Police Blotter

Port Hope Fire and Emergency Services quickly extinguished a fire at Trinity College School on Thursday, October 28, 2021.

Firefighters were dispatched at approximately 4:45 p.m. to reports of a fire in a bathroom on the second floor of Bickle House (residence).

When fire crews arrived smoke was coming from the windows of second floor bathroom.

Wearing breathing apparatus firefighters quickly entered the building and extinguished the fire.
