Overnight garage fire causes extensive damage to home near Bradford West Gwillimbury

An overnight garage fire caused significant damage to a house on the west side of Bradford West Gwillimbury.

Bradford Fire and Emergency crews were called at 12.09pm to a report of a garage fire near Bond Head.

According to Deputy Chief Steve Hall, the homeowners were inside the home at the time and were alerted by a smoke detector.

By the time fire crews arrived on scene, the fire had already spread to the main structure of the residence.

Hall confirmed to CTV News that all occupants escaped safely thanks to working smoke detectors.

Hall said the home was recently renovated and estimated the incident to be at least two million dollars.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation; however, Hall says he believes it involved a vehicle that was parked in the garage.
