The Office of the Fire Marshal is leading an investigation into a house fire on Aberdeen Avenue in Brantford just after 10:30 pm on Thursday.
Brantford’s Deputy Fire Chief Dwayne Armstrong said two occupants of the home were taken to hospital by emergency services but he had no information about their injuries.
Armstrong said fire crews “did an excellent job knocking the fire down quickly” but there was still substantial damage to the second floor of the home.
The cause of the fire and an estimate of the damage will be determined as part of the investigation.
