THUNDER BAY – NEWS – Thunder Bay Fire Rescue (TBFR) was called to the Limbrick social housing townhouse complex on Limbrick Street in Northwood at around 7:30 pm on April 27, 2023, following reports of a structural fire.
The first pumper crew to arrive discovered a working fire on the second floor of a central townhouse unit. They swiftly brought the fire under control, but it was later discovered that the fire had spread to a significant portion of the attic area of the entire residential complex.
