In a news release, the CFD said crews arrived to find “significant” smoke and visible flames coming from the front door and balcony of the home.

Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze and say the suite where the fire originated was unoccupied.

Residents living in neighbouring suites were able to get out of the building safely before crews arrived, and no injuries were reported.
