Home Flattened by Fire Housed Advocacy Group

Firefighters were called back to Mt.Scio Rd. in St. John's early this morning to douse hotspots of what remained from a roaring Monday night fire. The structure is not only a loss to a family, but potentially a fisheries advocacy group.

238 Mt.Scio Rd. has been associated with the Northern Coalition -- a group of six community based organizations representing in excess of 20,000 Inuit and Metis of Northern Labrador. The not-for-profit group was established in 1996 to protect shrimp allocations. No one was home at the time of the fire, just before 8 p.m. last night. The homeowner is out of town and could not be reached for comment.

From the roadway there's not much for passersby to see but yellow police tape across a long driveway. A single RNC vehicle stands guard. The chimney is all that remains, standing tall. The building was gutted, the charred metal and belongings still smouldering -- a huff of smoke hangs low over the debris as the intermittent rain showers act as a natural damper. Police have not released any information about the investigation.
