Afternoon house fire causes $200K damage

Damage is pegged at $200,000 after a house fire near downtown London.

Fire crews were called to the single-storey home on Maitland Street at Hill Street around 4 p.m. on Wednesday. When firefighters arrived on scene there was thick smoke coming from the front of the home.

The blaze was extinguished relatively quickly.

"All occupants reported to be out of the home. No reported injuries," fire officials said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

London Hydro was called in to disconnect the power from the house.

A fire investigator is continuing to probe the origin and cause of the fire.
