Evacuations in Deer Lake due to structure fire

This morning, at approximately 7 a.m., RCMP officers responded to a structure fire at hospitality establishment on Nicholsville Rd. near Main St. At this time, out of an abundance of caution due to a large propane tank on site, officers have evacuated nearby residences and continue to conduct traffic control.

We are asking the public to avoid the area to allow first responders to do their work.

Further information will be provided as it becomes available.
