Officials later said that the fire was under control and that a crew had been deployed to the roof to investigate.

The cause and damage estimate of the fire have not yet been determined.

“We don’t have any information in relation to possible injuries at this time,” said Const. Sandasha Bough. “The investigation is in its early stages.”

A fire prevention investigator has been called in to investigate, along with members of the London police street crime unit.

In February 2021, the same residence was the scene of another investigation following a report that a man was possibly in possession of a firearm at the home.

All charges were later withdrawn, according to court documents.
