According to London Fire Department deputy platoon chief Colin Shewell, the apartment sustained significant water, smoke and fire damage.

“There were no reported injuries,” Shewell said. “However, our firefighters did encounter high heat and high smoke but were able to put that out in a very timely manner.”

“We do have a family that is going to be displaced,” Shewell added. “We have been in contact with Red Cross to find them accommodations to move forward.”

Fire investigators were called out to the scene, but as of 10 a.m. Monday, were still not able to enter the building due to high carbon monoxide levels noted in the initial inspection.

The investigation is still ongoing to determine the cause and origin of the fire.
