The owner of the home was is travelling in the United States, and no one was home at the time of the fire. No injuries have been reported.
The fire commissioner’s office and Selkirk RCMP remain on scene.
The fire is out but traffic is still reduced to one lane for both the north and southbound traffic on Highway 9 between St. Andrew’s Road and Parkdale Road (Highway 27) in the RM of St. Andrew’s.
