Six fire departments responded to a 911 call at 5 a.m. Wednesday to the Water Street, Pictou store that had been engulfed in smoke. Firefighters were on scene for about three hours and the building was destroyed as a result of the fire. It has since been boarded up.
Janes said one of the members of the Pictou department was taken to hospital with burns on his wrist from excessive heat. He has since been released and is recovering well.
