Two people were taken to hospital after a garage fire damaged a London home, with repair costs estimated at $450,000.
London firefighters responded to the property on Avenue Road shortly before 9:30 a.m. Wednesday after receiving reports of a fire in an attached garage.
Crews initially moved to extinguish the flames directly, but shifted to a defensive operation when part of the roof structure gave way. The fire caused extensive damage to the garage and the main residence.
The two individuals were transported to Victoria Hospital. Their conditions have not been disclosed.
Officials have not released details about what sparked the blaze. The cause remains under investigation.
