The fire broke out at a single-family bungalow on Piperville Road around 6:30 p.m. By the time firefighters arrived, the blaze had extended to the entire roof and attic of the home.There were no hydrants in the area, so water had to be brought in by tanker trucks, fire officials said.
Firefighters took shelter in an OC Transpo but while rotating in and out of the home. The fire was under control just before 9:30 p.m.
