A fire at a Stage 2 LRT construction site in the west end caused some power to flicker Saturday morning.
Video shared to a local neighbourhood Facebook group shows a small, bright fire in the pit where construction on the western expansion of the Confederation Line is taking place near Byron and Woodroffe avenues."First, I saw a huge flash that lit up the entire apartment. I jumped up to look out the window and saw the fire," she told CTV News Ottawa.
"I could hear the sizzle from having the patio door opened. The fire seemed to die down at times and then it would get very, very bright again, sometimes so bright that I wasn't able to look directly at it."The Ottawa Fire Service said it appears that some hydro wires were knocked down by equipment at the site, but a working fire was not declared.The site is where the future New Orchard Station will be built on the western leg of the LRT, set to open in late 2026.
