London, Ont., fire crews say no one was seriously injured after a house fire Saturday afternoon.
London Fire Department (LFD) crews were called to a home at 325 Grey St. just after 3 p.m.
The roof was on fire, and a platoon chief with LFD says the fire was difficult to knock down due to the old age of the home and multiple layers of roof shingles.
No residents or pets were inside the home at the time of the blaze.
