Firefighters Control Basement Blaze in Ottawa Triplex

A basement fire in a triplex on Trojan Avenue in Ottawa’s Rideau-Rockcliffe ward prompted a swift response from local firefighters on the evening of March 9, 2024. The incident began at approximately 19:07 hours, with emergency services receiving reports of smoke emanating from the building’s lower level.
Initial assessments indicated that the fire was likely caused by cooking oil. Firefighters arriving at the scene encountered heavy smoke escaping through the vents and immediately called for additional resources to assist with the emergency. Teams extended hoses into the structure while simultaneously conducting searches for any potential occupants inside.
Fortunately, all residents had evacuated safely before the firefighters arrived. The blaze was brought under control by 19:28 hours, demonstrating the quick and effective response of the Ottawa Fire Services. Crews utilized high-pressure fans to ventilate the building and expel the smoke.
Following the control of the fire, a fire service investigator was dispatched to the scene. Their role will be to determine the precise cause and origin of the fire, ensuring that all relevant safety protocols are assessed.
The rapid response not only minimized damage to the property but also ensured the safety of the residents. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses. Community members are encouraged to stay informed through local news outlets regarding ongoing safety measures in their area.
