Fire in Ottawa

 In a moment, your life changes. This is a detached house in Barrhaven, Ontario. It went up in flames on Friday.

Streets were closed, school busses rerouted, and families living near or on Sutcliffe had to pick their kids up at school. These houses are so close together. Sad that the house next door was partially burned. 

  Ottawa firefighters rescued 5 pets: 3 dogs, a cat and a rabbit, after the family got out safely. They even gave oxygen to the pets. One firefighter was hurt when the roof collapsed. 

"OFS says the fire started in a garage of a single family home Friday at 23 Sutcliffe Terr. It has then spread to the house next door."

🏡 Caivan Development in Perth

It is interesting that Caivan is putting a development in on an island in Perth, Ontario. There is one road in and out. We have volunteer firefighters who travel in their own vehicles to a fire. Then if an ambulance needs to get in and out, disaster.
