The London Fire Department says one man is dead following a fire in the city’s White Oaks neighbourhood.
Firefighters attended a home on Patience Crescent shortly after 12 p.m. Sunday after they received reports of a house fire, according to Platoon Chief Gary Mosburger.
Mosburger said the blaze took fire crews about an hour to get under control due to a delay caused by a search and rescue operation to help a person inside.
