A Global News photographer on the scene says the street was closed but opened again at about 7:30 a.m.

Fire crews initially tackled the fire from the interior of the house, but were forced out due to ‘deteriorating conditions’ of the structure.

No one was in the house at the time of the blaze, although a neighbouring house was evacuated as a precaution.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
