WHITBY MAN, 24, SERIOUSLY HURT IN HEAD-ON CRASH A major Durham police facility suffered considerable damage after being discovered "fully engulfed" in flames last Sunday. Smoke from the fire at the Durham Regional Police Services' property bureau on Courtice Court could be seen for kilometres. Durham police tweeted at 6:45 p.m. that there was an active fire at the property bureau building near Baseline Road. The facility is where vehicles involved in serious collisions and police investigations are stored and it also houses vintage DRPS vehicles. Clarington fire crews were dispatched to the scene at 6:07 p.m., and the building was "fully engulfed" when they arrived, according to Chris Bovie, DRPS Director of Communications. Fire crews performed two searches and didn't find any victims in the building. "We are still investigating to assess what type and how extensive the damage is to the building," Bovie added last Sunday. The cause of the fire is not yet clear. Highway 401 was closed in both directions for about an hour due to the fire. Pieces of ash were falling as far away as Townline Road and King Street East on the Oshawa-Courtice border.
