Passerby alerts family to house fire

No injuries are reported in a fire Wednesday night in Plympton-Wyoming.

The Plympton-Wyoming Fire Department's Camlachie and Wyoming stations responded to a structure fire on London Line near Kerrigan Road at around 9 p.m.

Fire Chief Will Davidson said firefighters arrived to find visible flames coming from the roof of the two-storey home.

Davidson said the occupants were able to exit the home safely after being alerted to the fire by a passerby.

The blaze was quickly brought under control and the majority of the damage was contained to the attic space.

Davidson said the cause of the blaze has not yet been determined and a damage estimate was not immediately available. The fire is not believed to be suspicious.

Lambton OPP and Lambton EMS also responded.

Davidson reminds residents of the importance of smoke and CO alarms. He said both devices provide early warning and are crucial life safety devices, especially when people are sleeping.
