Four units in a townhouse complex are destroyed, displacing many residents, after a fire on Green Valley Drive in Kitchener on Wednesday afternoon.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation and the Ontario Fire Marshal is expected to arrive on scene Thursday.
Officials said no people were hurt, but some family cats are unaccounted for.
Kitchener Fire said the call came in at around 1 p.m.
Seven firetrucks raced to the scene, with firefighters trying to attack the flames from several angles. Crews deployed the aerial ladder and climbed onto nearby roofs to get leverage, while people on the ground focused on limiting the spread through backyards.
A food delivery driver said he witnessed the fire and jumped in to help.
