Cigarette butt causes fire at local business

There was a fire at a Port Hawkesbury business overnight.

The Fleur-de-Lis owner made a social media post this morning.

Brenda Chisholm-Beaton says RCMP and the Port Hawkesbury Volunteer Fire Department responded.

Chisholm-Beaton says police told her the cause was a cigarette butt in a flower pot.

She says the fire could have been worse if there wasn’t a man using a bank machine close by.

He’s the one who alerted authorities.

This is a developing story, more to come.
