TURKEY POINT - The Norfolk OPP had to close off a portion of Turkey Point Road overnight as fire crews battled a fully engulfed house fire.
The call came in shortly after 8:00 p.m. and Acting Sergeant Ed Sanchuk posted a video update on the OPP West Region Twitter page shortly after midnight. He said one occupant of the home was unaccounted for, but another person was able to escape the fire with two dogs.
Sanchuk also said Turkey Point Road will be closed between Charlotteville Road 10 and Charlotteville Road 11 for several hours and we have yet to hear if the area has reopened.
No further details have been released, but we will continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available.
