Ottawa Fire Services says crews were called around 8:30 p.m. for a garage fire in a single family home on Du Plateau Street near Avebury Drive.
Five minutes after the initial call, firefighters arrived on scene and saw that the fire had spread into the roof of the two storey house. That’s when they started battling the fire.
