Firefighters were able to quickly douse the flames and stop the fire from spreading to nearby homes, but they say the wind was a concern.

“With the wind that’s blowing right now, we were quite concerned with the neighbouring houses,” says Battalion Chief Tim Minue. “There was a little bit of smoke in the neighbour’s house, but they’re ok … there’s no damage to their house.”

Fire investigators say the home was vacant.
