Blaze destroys Milton century home

Fire destroyed a two-storey century home in Milton last night.

Fire crews arrived at the house on fourth line around 3:30 Saturday morning. Two people were rescued from a second-storey balcony and were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

It took more than 30 firefighters an hour to get the blaze under control. The home was seriously damaged, but there is no estimated dollar figure yet.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
