caption: Firefighters from Annapolis and Kings counties helped Middleton Fire Department deal with a warehouse fire that broke out in downtown Middleton early Sunday evening, threatening a nearby house. Dozens of firefighters surrounded the large two-storey wooden structure. Smoke was coming from the eaves and from around windows and doors, and eventually flames shot through the walls and finally the roof. The smoke filled the downtown for hours and close to the fire it was difficult to see or breathe. Lawrencetown's ladder truck attacked the fire from above while teams of firefighters manned hoses and attacked from the ground. Eventually Middleton Fire Chief <PERSON> called in an excavator which knocked down the walls.
