Firefighters investigate weekend blaze on Barton Street East
An early Saturday morning fire at a building on Barton Street East under renovation is being investigated, firefighters say.
The blaze started early in a two-storey building just across the street from a similar fire a week ago at Barton Street East just west of Birch Avenue.
“Firefighters arrived on scene and confirmed there was a fire taking place on the roof area of the building with fire and smoke visible on their arrival,” a Hamilton fire spokesperson said in an email.
No injuries were reported and the cause is under investigation.
Hamilton fire says there are no indications the blaze is connected to a similar blaze Jan. 30 at a building under construction on Barton Street east between Milton and Stirton streets.
