Thick smoke billowing from the house and drifting northwest brought out hundreds of spectators in the neighbourhood who watched firefighters assault the blaze with ground hoses and an aerial truck, which had been set up at Centennial Park for Canada Day festivities.

Shortly after firefighters arrived, large tongues of flame were visible shooting from the home’s roof and before long, most of the top part of the home above the garage had collapsed.

It was close to 5 p.m. before the last of the flames were extinguished.
