A structure fire on Rose Beach Line in Morpeth has caused approximately $200,000 worth of damage.

Fire officials said the house was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived but firefighters were able to quickly get the fire under control.

The homeowner was able to get out of the house and no injuries were reported.

The fire is currently under investigation.

This is the second fire to spark Wednesday morning that has prompted an investigation. Fire crews were called to an apartment building fire in Tilbury shortly after midnight where two cats died.
