The main lodge of a historic wilderness resort near Annapolis Royal, N.S., was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning, the second time in 14 years that Milford House has caught fire.
Flames could be seen from several kilometres away and firefighters from eight fire departments battled the blaze.
The fire started around 4 a.m. and Annapolis Royal Fire Chief Malcolm Francis says it engulfed the main lodge.
No one was injured, he says.
“The status of the building, it’s pretty much a writeoff. It’s pretty much destroyed,” Francis says.
Nobody was staying in the lodge, he says, but 23 cabins are rented out. None of the cabins caught fire.
The main lodge was destroyed by fire in 2000 and a replica was built in its place.
The resort is roughly 20 kilometres south of Annapolis Royal.
