A fire at a detached home on Woodhaven Road in Kitchener caused an estimated $250,000 in damage Friday morning. The Kitchener Fire Department responded around 9:20 a.m. and contained the fire to the garage, preventing it from spreading to the rest of the home.
Crews removed two lithium-ion batteries from an e-bike in the garage. No injuries were reported, and the home had functioning smoke alarms. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
