Firefighters contain bedroom fire on Parkland Crescent

A family of four were forced to evacuate their home on Monday after Ottawa firefighters were called to respond to a fire that started in the home’s bedroom.
Just after noon, Ottawa Fire Services responded to a call on Parkland Crescent that a mattress was on fire in a second-floor bedroom of a single-family home. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze relatively quickly, and by 12:30 they had declared the fire under control.
Damage, said a spokesperson for OFS, is estimated around $20
