Topper’s Convenience Fire

Jun 14, 2023

South Frontenac Fire Crews were quick to respond to the fire at Topper’s Convenience on Wednesday, June 7, but there was no chance to save the store or the living units at the rear of the building. They managed to keep the fire from getting near the gas pumps, and as you can see from this photo, they also kept it from the propane tanks at the front of the store. No neighbouring properties were impacted by the fire. Investigators from the Ontario Fire Marshalls office were at the site on Thursday and Friday to investigate the cause of the fire. On a community level, two Verona residents lost their home and all of their belongings in the fire. They have been taken in by neighbours in the Bellrock area, and efforts to support them and find a permanent home are ongoing within the local community.
