Ottawa Fire Services says no injuries were reported after a fire broke out in a commercial building along Bank Street in the Glebe Sunday morning.

Firefighters say they received multiple calls around 7:59 reporting black smoke coming from the top of a two-storey building located at 785 Bank St…

When crews arrived on scene, two minutes into the initial call, they found fire in the ceiling of the second floor. That was when they began opening up the ceiling to put the flames out. Crews reported significant fire in the attic of the structure at at 08:21, the fire department said.

The fire was declared under control at 10:03 a.m…

“A ‘fire watch’ has been set up to monitor for any flare ups,” Ottawa fire said in a post on X.

Ottawa fire spokesperson Nick Defazio told CTV News Ottawa the fire was contained to the building.

However, smoke made its way into the grocery store at the back of the building, prompting crews to use high pressurized fans to ventilate it out.

Defazio said crews had asked Hydro Ottawa to cut the power to the building, as a precaution.

Firefighters asked people to avoid the area between Second and Third avenues while they were on scene.

The investigation into what led to the fire is ongoing.
