Two people were treated for smoke inhalation following a fire in an apartment building in Ottawa’s Lincoln Heights neighbourhood.

Ottawa Fire Services said it received multiple 9-1-1 calls around 8:45 p.m. Thursday reporting a fire on the fourth floor of a building on Regina Street.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, they confirmed there was smoke coming from the west side of the building.

“Firefighters initiated a fast attack and advanced a hose line inside the structure,” the service said in a media release.

“The fire was extinguished and contained to the area of origin before it could spread.”

An Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson said two adults were taken to hospital with minor smoke inhalation.

An investigator is now searching for the cause of the fire.
