Un incendie a ravagé la résidence du 591, rue Main, à Bury le dimanche 26 janvier au matin. Le feu a pris naissance dans le garage adjacent avant de s’étendre à la maison, qui est perte totale.
Une explosion aurait réveillé le propriétaire de l’endroit, Mike Coleman, peu après 7 h. Lui et sa famille ont juste eu le temps de se vêtir avant de devoir d’évacuer. Vers 11 h 30, une pelle mécanique est venue démanteler ce qu’il restait du bâtiment pour faciliter le travail des pompiers.
M. Coleman venait tout juste de rénover sa résidence. Sur les trois félins qu’il possédait, un seul a été retrouvé. Dans le garage, deux véhicules à essence ont été consumés par les flammes.
Cet incendie à Bury rappelle la série de six brasiers qui avaient secoué la municipalité au printemps 2020. Selon le porte-parole de la Sûreté du Québec, Louis-Philippe Ruel, l’enquête suit toujours son cours dans ce dossier.

On Sunday, January 26, at around 7:15 a.m., a call came into the Bury Fire Department, headed by Chief Edward Jacklin, reporting a major fire at 591 Main Street. Firefighters were quick to the scene, where they found the house catching fire rapidly. Mutual aid was asked from the Cookshire-Eaton Fire Service and also Lingwick, Dudswell, and East Angus, with firefighters and water tankers.
The house was owned by Mike Coleman, who said that he and his family were awakened by a huge explosion just after 7 a.m. When he looked out the window, his attached garage was engulfed in flames. He and his family evacuated the house with just the clothes on their back.
The house was unable to be saved. Fire spread fast. The house had recently been redone inside and out. Mike had put hundreds of hours of work into it. In less than four hours it was all gone.
At around 11:30 a.m., the excavator arrived to put the house down and allow firefighters to chase down hot spots. Nobody was injured in the fire, but there were three cats in the basement, one that was later found, a bit wet but doing fine.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. Two cars were lost in the garage; they were not electric.
