Police are on scene of a fatal fire that occurred overnight in Halifax.

Shortly before 1 a.m. this morning, police and Halifax Fire and Emergency were called to a residence fire on Quartz Drive in Halifax. 

A man who has life-threatening injuries and woman with non-life-threatening injuries have been taken to hospital. Police believe there are fatalities related to other individuals who were in the residence at the time of the incident.

Further details are not available at this time.

The fire remains under investigation. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.

The street has been closed to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic and police ask that people remain out of the area to allow emergency personnel to conduct their investigation.
