Photo by David Ritchie All three Halton Hills fire stations responded to a house fire on Upper Canada Ct. on the east side of Georgetown last Thursday night. The fire was in a home under construc- tion in the new subdivision off McFarlane Dr. by the Sands condo building, around 10:55 p.m. The roof of one of the homes was de- stroyed and initial damage estimates peg the cost at $300,000. An adjoining unit suffered approximately $15,000 in damage. There were no injuries reported. Halton Hills Fire Department Deputy Chief John Martin said crews had the fire under control at 11:44 p.m. Suppression staff was assigned to fire watch throughout the night. Crews from the Maple Ave., 10 Sid- eroad headquarters and another from Acton responded to the call. An investigator was on scene Friday morning to determine the origin. The fire cause was unintentionally started by roof sealing operations.

Pair charged after rollover, police search Two Hamilton residents are facing several charges following a single-vehicle rollover Sunday morning in the area of Trafalgar Rd. and Five Sideroad. Halton Regional Police responded to a call at about 7 a.m. of a vehicle that had knocked a light pole down and upon arriv- ing on scene found a female who had suf- fered minor injuries. The male driver had fled the scene and it was revealed that the vehicle had been reported stolen several hours earlier in the Hamilton area. A search involving the HRPS canine, unit, several officers and members of the Halton Hills Fire Department was unable to locate the suspect until an alert citizen notified po- lice about a suspicious male on his property and an arrest was made soon after. Charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, three counts of possession of stolen property obtained by crime, driving under suspension, possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, fail to comply with recognizance and fail to comply with a pro- bation order is Matthew Taylor, 37. He was held in custody for a bail hearing. Julie-Lynn Talbot, 30, was charged with one count of possession of stolen property obtained by crime and obstructing a peace officer. She was released on a promise to ap- pear in court. Interested in a career in policing?
