Returning yesterday from the coast of the northern sea, I hoped to have time to make a post with footage of my walk, but something interfered with my plans. Driving through the outskirts of the city, I noticed an unnatural glow in the old quarter.
Arriving at the place, I saw a blazing two-story house, and a brigade of police with firefighters nearby. They said that the fire started half an hour ago, there is no one in the building, but they still can't start extinguishing, it's too far from communications with water.

Ah ah see you soon!
What a blazing sight to behold and to capture these amazing photos. I like how you gave the fire a personality. Nice column of the 3 small photos. 🔥 Good no one was in the building. Fire is certainly a savage insatiable beast when out of control.
During the cold season there.s quite a few house fires here with casualties. One was started by the lint buildup in the clothes dryer.
This fire strikes close as two mos. ago, a cousin of Wayne’s burned up in his house not far from where we live. It happened in the night to a fairly new well built home. He lived by himself. The fire totally flattened the structure and then the next morning it snowed for a couple days, covering everything up. No one knows what started it or why he couldn’t get out…not CSI here so we will never know what happened.
The pop. of the Island is appr. 150 thousand. The man who died had a house situated on about 2 acres of land. There were a couple neighbours quite close but were sleeping and never saw the flames. Actually it was his brother who had a farm a few kms away that got up early to tend the cows and saw the red flaming sky in the location of his brother’s home. He went to investigate and phoned the fire department but it already too late. Sad day.
I live in the countryside surrounded by 50 acres of woodland (mainly forest) with the birds, bees and a few wildlife. :) The town of Montague is only 10 km (6mi.) away. Charlottetown is the capital and that’s a 45 min. car drive. Before coming permanently to the Island, I had worked at a credit union in the big city in Oshawa, Ontario.. near Toronto.
Do you use the metric system?
Canada changed to the metric system in the mid 1970’s. After learning the imperial system in school it was a quite a change to switch over. I usually work with both systems in my head. :))
Canada is also a vast country. In my opinion, September is the best month to visit P.E.I. as there are no flies then and the weather is not too hot or too cold.
I heard that the cruise ships are soon starting to come again into Charlottetown after not arriving for the last two yrs because the pandemic. The shopkeepers at the waterfront will be glad to have the tourists again.
Ravages of fire jumps fast in our dry climate, like a wild animal running from one place to the next. Always sad when someone loses everything to an incident like this, however it happens and will continue in the future.

Well done with that article 👏.
Where exactly is that located?
Geographical references is one thing that can be added to make readers to feel closer and part of the story. Unless you prefer not to for personal reasons of course 😉
