“Neighbours heard a banging sound,” District Chief Al Gilliland told Global News. “They looked out the window and saw some smoke and fire coming out of the building on the west side.”

Gilliland said once firefighters entered the home, they found the fire was “predominantly in the basement.”

It’s unknown if the house had working smoke detectors.
