"Four stations responded to this just because of the size of the fire," said Otis. "We actually had more than our standard three station response and we had a fourth station come by."

The lone occupant, an adult male, was taken to Bluewater Health for treatment for possible smoke inhalation.

Sarnia Fire released an update on Wednesday following its investigation and said the cause of the fire will be listed as undetermined.

A damage estimate was not immediately available.
