A family of seven is temporarily homeless after an early morning fire destroyed their two-story home on the outskirts of Cardigan.
The couple and five children, ranging in age from 12 to 17, are staying with relatives for now and were assisted today by Canadian Red Cross volunteers with emergency purchases including winter clothing, food and some other basics.
There were no injuries from the fire, reported around 2:30 Friday morning at 6206 Launching Road.
