The Burlington Fire Department is on the scene of a garage fire taking place at a townhouse on Porter Street near Appleby Line and Upper Middle Road.
No vehicles were inside the garage at the time of the fire. Acting Platoon Chief Jason LaPorte said that one woman had sustained minor injuries to her hand attempting to extinguish the fire and is being cared for by Halton Medics.
Heavy black smoke was visible from some distance, and fire crews had to ventilate the building. Neighbours reported hearing two explosions come from the garage.
Firefighters on the scene said that the fire had started sometime after 1:15 p.m, and was extinguished by 2 p.m.
