Firefighters spent the early morning hours battling a stubborn house fire in Nepean.
Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) responded to a bungalow in the 90 block of Rossland Avenue shorty after 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 8, following multiple 9-1-1 calls.
A neighbor had reported seeing flames coming through the window of a single-family home across the street.
The occupants had safely evacuated the home when crews arrived on scene and a working fire was quickly declared.
Firefighters began a fast attack, moving inside the home, and after completing two full searches, confirmed there was no one inside.
The fire was declared under control at 5:11 a.m. and an OFS investigator has been dispatched to determine what caused the blaze.
Victim Services has also responded.
