WILMOT, N.S. —

Two Wilmot fires that had firefighters responding to back-to-back calls late Saturday night and early Sunday morning are under investigation.

“It was shortly after Middleton had one at the Kwik-Way. In fact, they were on their way back from that call when they got mutual aid to our call,” said Watson Armstrong, Kingston’s fire chief.

A residential structure fire was reported on nearby Station Road around 1 a.m., Armstrong said.

He described the view upon arrival as “a ball of flames.”

Firefighters from departments in Aylesford, Nictaux, Middleton and Kingston teamed up to extinguish the fully engulfed vacant home.

“It was a long night and I appreciate our wonderful mutual aid system that we have,” said Watson.

The insured house was undergoing renovations, Watson said.

No one was injured.
