Ottawa firefighters say they successfully treated a dog suffering from smoke inhalation following a house fire in Manotick.

According to a post on the social media site X from Ottawa Fire Services public information officer Nick DeFazio, crews responded to reports of a fire in a single-family home on Manotick Main Street at approximately 3:11 p.m. on Friday.

The caller evacuated the home with their dog, but the animal had inhaled smoke.

DeFazio says firefighters used an animal oxygen kit to treat the dog immediately after arriving on scene. Meanwhile, other fire crews began searching the home and suppressing the fire. Paramedics were also on the scene to assess the homeowner.

The fire was declared under control at 4:04 p.m. and the following a successful treatment, the dog was returned to its owner.

Two adults were displaced by the blaze and an Ottawa Fire Services investigator was dispatched to determine the cause of the fire, DeFazio says.
