OTTAWA – A two-alarm fire has left a family without a place to stay.
Around 11:45 p.m., crews were called to 19 Westwinds Place after a 911 call from the resident reporting a fire in the basement.
A working fire was declared when crews arrived to find heavy smoke conditions inside the front door.
The fire was upgraded to a second alarm and crews had to take a defensive approach to battling the place.
Family members, including a dog, had already evacuated when crews arrived.
The Red Cross and the Salvation Army have responded to the scene, while OC Transpo was providing a shelter bus for the family and fire crews.
There were no injuries and there is no word yet on a cause or damage estimate.
