Tenants from an apartment building in Barrie have been displaced following an early morning fire.
According to Barrie Fire, crews were called to an apartment on Innisfil Street just after 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday to respond to a basement fire.
Fire officials say there were no smoke alarms in the building, but flames melted a plastic water line in the ceiling, which acted as a sprinkler to help put the flames out.
