A fire in the basement of a row house has forced three adults and one teenager from their home.

Ottawa firefighters were called to the home on Ogilvie Road, north of Montreal Road, just before 5 p.m., Tuesday. Smoke and flames were seen coming from the end-unit row house.

Firefighters were able to prevent the fire from extending to the other units in the complex, and no one was injured.

A fire investigator has been called in to determine the cause.
