A separate witness who spoke to Global News said she drove by the home on Rannock Avenue near Cullen Street around 11:30 a.m. when flames were shooting through the roof.

“In the span of two minutes it went from a little bit of smoke to just flames, it just went nuts,” neighbour Kaitlynn Hartline said. “Apparently he was smoking pulled pork and there was a little grease fire and it just went.”

Hartline said she saw someone come out of the house and then run back inside to get a dog out to safety.

“There were two big pops, they said they had a propane tank in there or something so those exploded, there were two of those.”

“This house is going to be a knockdown. Yeah, the structure is entirely lost,” ​Acting Platoon Chief Myles Fitzhenry said.

Emergency crews were still battling the blaze at 1:30 p.m. Fitzhenry said they’re using the ladder truck to battle the fire as the building is too unstable to send members in.
