A Pine Manor neighborhood multi-family structure fire was put out thanks to the teamwork from South Trail Fire & Rescue and the Iona McGregor Fire District on Sunday.

According to the South Trail Fire Protection & Rescue Service District, the fire began on the stove but spread because of substandard and unsafe construction practices.
