Police say the residents managed to get out safely, but two cats perished in the blaze.
Police tell 570 News it appears the house was destroyed with damage estimated at around $300,000.
The only parts left standing on the house are the chimney and the north-west corner of the garage.
Next-door neighbour, Ana Soares tells 570 News she was watching T.V. at the time of the fire, “our lights were flickering, and a neighbour came knocking on the door, I came to the door and saw like a real thick fog. They told us the house was on fire next door,”.
Due to the extent of damage, the Fire Marshal’s Office has been called in to help determine the cause.
Police are securing the scene, until investigators arrive from Toronto today.
