by A house was severely damaged by fire outside of New Waterford yesterday. Cape Breton Regional Police tell the Coast that the blaze will likely result in a total loss of the residence, which was located between New Waterford and New Victoria. The residence is believed to have been up for sale, and no one was in the home at the time of the fire. The cause has yet to be determined. The Forensic Investigation Unit is conducting an investigation alongside the Fire Marshall’s office.
