A fire has destroyed a Victorian-era home in Fredericton’s north side.

Fire crews were called to the home on the corner of Union and Henry Street around 1pm Friday afternoon.

Assistant Deputy Fire Chief David McKinley says the fire started in the kitchen area on the first floor, before making its way up the walls and into the attic.

The house was eventually demolished.

At least two people living in two of the buildings units are receiving assistance from the Canadian Red Cross.

The fire has been deemed accidental.
