Residents of Auden Park Drive woke up to a scary sight when a house on the street caught fire in the early hours of Monday morning.
Smoke trails rose high into the sky and could be seen from blocks away.
Kingston Fire and Rescue arrived quickly on the scene and put out the blaze before it could spread past the garage.
“The deepest burning is in the garage, so currently our inspection division is going to have a look and see if they can determine where the origin of the fire was, and possibly the cause,” says acting platoon chief Charlie Arsenault.
