Belleville fire has confirmed that no people were harmed in Sunday morning’s townhouse fire.
In a statement, Belleville fire says that all three people taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation have been released.
While every human made it out of the building safely, two family pets died in the early morning blaze.
The fire severely damaged one townhouse unit on North Park Street but firefighters were able to contain the fire and keep it from spreading to neighbouring units. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The fire department is reminding residents to ensure there is a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm on every floor of their home, and to have a home escape plan.
