An abandoned house on Westminster Avenue East and Abbott Street is on fire Monday afternoon.

Around 4:10 p.m., firefighters were called to the two-storey home for smoke and flames coming out of the top floor.

Two engines are at the scene and firefighters were searching both floors to make sure no one was inside.

A neighbour told Black Press that the RCMP were at the home yesterday, (Sunday, Jan. 7) kicking out some squatters who were living there.

A second alarm was called for the blaze. RCMP and ambulance are also on scene.

The Western News will update the story when more information is available.
