A house fire in North Ottawa early yesterday morning, December 8th, has left a family displaced and a house destroyed. Just before 6:30 yesterday morning, first responders were called to 618 North Cedar for a structure fire. Ottawa Fire Department Assistant Chief, Shawn Dillon with more:
Fortunately, the occupant of the home was able to get out of the house safely and no injuries were reported. I spoke to the man displaced by the fire. He lost everything he owned in the blaze. He was very shaken up and asked not to be identified, but he is in great need of many items. Shoes, size 14, size 32-32 pants, xl shirts, 2xl coat, socks, underwear. He also lost his cell phone, wallet, and all his money. If you would like to help with donations to him, you can drop off any donation at the station at KOFO. We will make sure it all gets to him.
