The Ottawa Paramedic Service says no injuries were reported following a single-family home fire in the neighbourhood of Gloucester in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Ottawa Fire Services says firefighters received a call shortly after 2:20 a.m. reporting smoke coming out from the windows of a home in the 4,000 block of Thunder Road.
When crews arrived at the scene and saw smoke on all four sides, they asked for additional resources to be dispatched to the scene.
They then started extinguishing the fire by initiating a fast attack by advancing a hose line inside the structure.
Crews used a water shuttle system to bring water to the scene as there were no hydrants in the area.
Firefighters say dangerous conditions forced them to evacuate out of the structure at 2:20 a.m.
The fire was declared under control shortly after 3:30 a.m.
Firefighters then searched the home for occupants and no one was found inside.
Victim Services was called to help the affected residents.
A fire truck remains at the scene to monitor for any flareups.
The investigation into what led to this fire is ongoing.
