The Office of the Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of a fire at an apartment building on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment.
When crews arrived at the Ben Lomond Plaza Apartments just before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, flames were shooting out the balcony door and smoke was filling the upper floors of the 17-storey building, just a few blocks east of the Juravinski Hospital.
Firefighters rescued a woman from the 14th floor unit where the multiple alarm fire started.
She was not hurt.

Damage is estimated at approximately $100,000.
