Grey Bruce OPP say one person has been pronounced deceased following a house fire on 10th Concession.
Police say on Nov. 27 around 10:50 p.m., the OPP, Grey County EMS, the Inter Township Fire Department, and the Chatsworth Fire Department responded to a call about a structure fire in the Municipality of Meaford.
OPP say emergency crews arrived on the scene and started fighting the fully engulfed house fire.
One person was pulled from the residence and was pronounced deceased on the scene. The person’s identity is being withheld pending the next of kin notification.
The fatal fire on 10th Concession east of Rockford was the second in the area over the weekend that claimed someone’s life. One person died in a blaze Saturday morning on Girl Guide Road in Georgian Bluffs.
Police have yet to identify the victim in that blaze.
Investigations are underway into both incidents with assistance from the Ontario Fire Marshal, OPP Forensic Identification Services and Office of the Chief Coroner.
OPP confirm more details will be released when they become available.
