One person dead after Digby County house fire

One person is dead after a house fire in Digby County early Tuesday morning.

“It’s not suspicious in nature at this point, the investigation is being led by the fire marshal’s office and the fire department, so we’re basically an assisting agency,” RCMP spokesman Const. Dominic Laflamme said.

The fire was reported on Old North Range Road in Plympton Station shortly before 5 a.m.

Plympton-Gilberts Cove firefighters responded to the call, with assistance from the Weymouth, Saint Bernard, Brighton-Barton and Digby fire departments.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
