Ottawa Fire Services say in a press release that fire crews responded to a 9-1-1 call from a passerby that was flagged down by the homeowner just before 4:30 a.m. on the 400 block of Berry Side Road, about 35 kilometres west of downtown Ottawa.

Firefighters confirmed upon arriving that the home was 'fully involved' on all four sides.

"There were two adults and some pets inside," said Ottawa Fire Services spokeperson Nick DeFazio. "They were notified by a working smoke alarm that there was a fire inside the home. They they quickly escaped safely, but they weren't able to get a phone. So when they got outside, they had to wait for a passer by to come by to call 911."

Two large propane tanks on the property were isolated, disconnected and removed from the proximity of the home.

No injuries have been reported.

An Ottawa Fire Investigator has been dispatched to the scene.

"It's not considered suspicious at this time," DeFazio said. "Our fire investigators here on scene now, and he's working to determine the cause and origin of the fire."
