Ottawa Sun
About two dozen people are homeless and smoke continues to billow from the rubble of two downtown commercial and residential buildings destroyed overnight in a massive fire.
Fortunately, there have been no serious injuries to people, although several pets have apparently perished.
Roads in the area of Somerset West and Booth streets remain closed as fire crews douse hot spots in the building which is still standing, an older three-storey structure at 801 Somerset. The building at 811 collapsed into rubble this morning after burning furiously for several hours, and there are fears that 801 could also collapse. Part of the roof has already fallen in.
The buildings both contained businesses on the ground floor and a total of 30 apartments on their second and third storeys.
A police officer on patrol in the area spotted dense smoke coming from one of the buildings at about 3:30 a.m. By the time fire and other rescue crews arrived the building was belching flames and smoke. Embers carried by wind blew over to 801 and ignited the roof there, according to a woman who lives in one of the buildings.
As flames ate their way through most of the structures, massive plumes of smoke billowed across the downtown and crowds of nearby residents and passersby gathered to watch.
Ottawa paramedics say one firefighter suffered a minor knee injury and required treatment at hospital. A resident was treated for a minor respiratory ailment and paramedics gave oxygen to three cats which seemed to be in distress as a result of smoke inhalation. All those animals were quickly reunited with their owners.
Disaster services workers with the Salvation Army arrived at the scene soon after fire crews, and called in OC Transpo buses for temporary shelter. They were given food, drinks and blankets.
Many of the residents have now been offered temporary accommodation at an area hotel, and given emergency cash to tide them over as they try to get back onto their feet. "A lot of them had pets," and several animals died, said Salvation Army disaster services co-ordinator Tom Sydney from the scene. "A lot of them did not have insurance. It's that added cost which unfortunately some of them can't afford." Sydney said the 30 apartments are mainly low-rent units, and their loss will hit hard amongst the residents, many of whom cannot afford more expensive accommodation.
Police say the fire is suspicious and investigators from the fire and police arson squads are on the scene.
About two dozen fire vehicles and upwards of 60 firefighters were on the scene at the height of the blaze.
