Tillsonburg Fire respond to a Broadway Street home Sunday evening

TILLSONBURG - Tillsonburg firefighters are reminding residents they need a working smoke alarm on every level of their home following a situation Sunday.

Officials say there were called to a Broadway Street home and discovered an overpressure situation on a boiler system that had produced light smoke in the home. 
 
Crews quickly shut off the natural gas supply and damage was limited to the boiler system. 
 
Upon investigation though, the Fire Department found there was only a working smoke alarm on the main level and not one in the basement or the second floor. 
 
While there is no loss estimate at the time, officials say the cause appears to be a malfunction in the boiler system which cut off water supply to the unit, causing it to run dry.
