Burlington Fire says crews battled a fire that had engulfed three homes under construction early Monday and had damaged a fourth home where people were living.

Firefighters responded to a large structure fire on Lodi Road, near Dundas Street and Walkers Line, at around 4 a.m.

Platoon Chief Dan VanderLelie told Global News the fire was beginning to impede on an occupied residence — a fourth home. Firefighters told the occupants to get out of their homes, he said.
