Chatham-Kent Firefighters responded to the fire at 14332 Turlin Line around 1pm Tuesday.

Station 10 Chief George Perry says this is the second time in the past week firefighters have put out the same fire.

"It's an old vacant house, it's just one hot corner in the basement that's going," says Perry.

Perry says the residents near the abandoned home on Turlin Line don't need to be concerned by the minor fire and hopes it is now extinguished for good.
