Ottawa’s fire department says no one was injured when flames ripped through a two-storey home in Barrhaven overnight.
“Multiple” 911 calls around 12:50 a.m. on Friday reported smoke and flames coming from the end unit of a row house complex on Kirkstone Private in the city’s southwest end, Ottawa Fire Services said.
Firefighters declared a two-alarm fire at the suburban home just after 1 a.m. and had it under control at 1:40 a.m., according to the fire department.
The home’s occupants reportedly evacuated safely before firefighters arrived.
