They used an OC Transpo bus to warm up as they rotated in and out of fighting the fire. Crews pulled down ceilings inside the house to get the fire under control at 5:16 a.m. but remained on the scene to hunt for hot spots. A fire investigator was called in to find the cause and origin of the blaze.
