Two people have been displaced after a fire at a two-storey building in Manotick Sunday, firefighters say.
Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) spokesperson Nick DeFazio said they received multiple 911 calls just before 8 a.m. about heavy smoke and flames coming from the property on Manotick Main Street. Responding crews were able to see a column of smoke while still on their way there.
The fire was declared under control shortly after 11 a.m. No one was injured in the fire, DeFazio said, but a cat was found dead inside.

The building houses a business on the first floor and a residential unit upstairs.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
