An early morning townhouse fire in Kitchener is under investigation.

Emergency services were called to Silver Aspen Crescent around 2 a.m. Monday.

The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) was called in to assist with the investigation. Investigators believe the fire originated in the top unit and spread to the bottom unit.

OFM could not say how many people were displaced and there is no cost of damages at this time.

“No other units were impacted other than a little exterior smoke and water damage,” an OFM spokesperson told CTV News.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
