A fire broke out at the rear of a building in the 700 block of Dundas Street yesterday, prompting a swift response from the London Fire Department.

Fire crews executed what officials described as “an aggressive and effective attack” on the blaze, successfully preventing the flames from extending into the interior of the structure. Their quick response and coordination were credited as crucial factors in containing the fire before it could cause more extensive damage.

The incident temporarily affected traffic in the area, but Dundas Street has since reopened to all vehicles. Fire units have been released from the scene and have returned to regular service.

The London Fire Department has initiated an investigation into the cause of the fire. Initial estimates place the damages at approximately $15,000.
