A blaze broke out in a residence in London’s northeast end Friday and caused extensive damage, according to fire officials.
They say the call came in at 4:40 p.m. regarding a fire at 32 Bridle Path.
Platoon Chief Kirk Loveland told 980 CFPL fire crews spotted a working fire upon arrival, and distinguished the flame.
The cause and damage have yet to be confirmed.
Officials say the residents were out of the home when the blaze took place, but the chief says there were a “number of pets” inside.
