By Mike Vlasveld

Ottawa Fire Services says a fire inside the lobby of a commercial building at 140 O'Connor St. is under control.

Firefighters responded to the blaze just after 3 p.m., Thursday, September 3.

Officials say smoke reached multiple floors of the high-rise. 

Around 3:30 p.m., firefighters were making sure the flames didn't extend into other areas and were ventilating smoke.

An investigator will be looking into what may have caused the fire and how much damage it did to the building.
