Cause undetermined in massive housing fire in Quinte West

Wen have an update on the multi-million dollar fire in Quinte West last month.

Around 5:30 a.m. on February 21, 2025, emergency crews responded just south of Trenton Wesleyan Church, between Highway 33 and Old Highway 2 on 2nd Dughill Road, where a multi-unit townhouse complex under construction was on fire.

Multiple units were called in, along with OPP, Belleville fire and police, hydro and gas crews.

Damage to the multi-unit housing complex was around $4 million.

Due to the extensive heat and damage from the fire, the cause of the blaze will go down as undetermined.
