No one was injured Tuesday in an Esquimalt fire that caused “significant” damage to a home on Grenville Avenue.
Esquimalt Fire Chief Matt Furlot said the homeowner was not at home at the time of the fire.
The fire department was called about 11:40 a.m. and remained on scene for about two hours, halting traffic at Grenville and Woodway Road.
“A big thank you to the neighbour who saw smoke and called it in,” Furlot said. “That allowed for a very fast response. With something like this, 10 minutes can make all the difference.”
