Jan. 21, 2014, Antigonish, N.S. – Three snow plows and a Nova Scotia Department of Transportation garage were destroyed in a fire Tuesday at a Nova Scotia Department of Transportation depot in Antigonish.
Department Spokeswoman Pam Menchenton says replacement trucks and a loader from other parts of the province were expected to arrive in the community to replace the destroyed equipment.
Menchenton says nobody was harmed but the nine-shed building was wrecked by the blaze.
Fire crews from Antigonish town and county and the Four Valleys Fire Department responded to the scene early Tuesday afternoon.
Witnesses say they saw grey smoke coming from the Post Road building just after 12:30 p.m., but the blaze was extinguished before 2 p.m.
RCMP say the Fire Marshal's office is assisting in their investigation into the cause of the fire.
