Ottawa Fire Service’s structural collapse team is on the scene of a Barrhaven home after a car was driven through it.
The fire service said on the social media site X that the vehicle was driven through the wall of a single-family home, “causing the integrity of the structure to become compromised.”
Fire spokesperson Nick DeFazio said the call came in around noon.
As the structural integrity of a building is compromised, the structural collapse team installed supports to the structure so the car could be removed safely with a winch, he said, which happened around 2 p.m.
The people who live in the home won’t be able to return until it’s fully repaired, he said.
