AFTON, N.S. — One person died Saturday in a fire at a home in a Mi'kmaq community in northeastern Nova Scotia.
RCMP reported that fire departments responded to a blaze on Paq'tnkek First Nation in Afton at about 6 p.m.
However, police say the residence was "fully engaged when the responders arrived on scene," about 30 kilometres northeast of Antigonish.
A police news release said one person had died in the fire, and the body had been sent to the medical examiners office for assistance in identifying the victim.
Police also say that an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

I applaud the budget, even though Health Care and education may stay unscathed. Sadly this cannot last and I worry to later this year where cuts will become enviable. If anything, this provides the Wildrose Alliance plenty of ammo when an election is called.
