A structure fire in Middlesex Centre has closed down a section of Carriage Road. According to OPP Carriage Road is closed between Sharon Drive and Westminster Drive.
Three people are hurt following a house fire southwest of London Ont. Friday.
Middlesex fire officials responded to a century farm home on Carriage Road just before 8 a.m.
A CTV News dash camera captured billowing smoke approaching the scene.
“You could see it [smoke] miles down the road. I could see it while responding here from the Coldstream area,” stated Deputy Chief Scott Roper of Middlesex Fire Services.
By the time fire crews approached the three injured residents had escaped the burning home — reports suggested some were children.
“The individuals were outside and safe and being attended to by one of our off-duty firefighters who happened to be passing by,” confirmed Roper.
With the residents transported to the hospital for minor injuries, firefighters began a defensive attack on the home.
