A mother and her three children escaped a house fire as heavy black smoke filled the two-storey building on the morning of Monday, Dec. 19. Ottawa firefighters responded to a call around 11 a.m. for a fire on MacNeil Court in Katimavik. Armand Pigeon, a resident of MacNeil Court, said he was walking to his car when he noticed smoke billowing out of a neighbour’s windows. “I wanted to make sure she and all her kids were out of the house,” he said. Pigeon rushed to the house and saw the woman exit with her children, ages one, two and five. “She was in shock,” said Pigeon, who called 911. The firefighters and rescue vehicles showed up quickly, he said, adding the woman and her children had only moved into the house three months ago. “It’s such a sad time of the year to lose all you got,” he said. “I wish there was something I could do to help these people.” The mother and her children all escaped the house uninjured, said fire spokesman Marc Messier. The fire started and was contained to the living area, but there was heavy smoke damage throughout the home, he said. Damage to the building and contents was estimated at $115,000. The fire was under control by 11:20 a.m. as crews continued to ventilate the house. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
