Ottawa firefighters have extinguished a fire at a Merivale Road restaurant.
Firefighters were called to Merivale north of Viewmount Drive at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday for reports of flames visible on the roof of the Montana restaurant.
Firefighters arrived within three minutes and began extinguishing the blaze. Police closed Merivale Road in both directions between Viewmount and Family Brown Lane, leaving room for crews to stage a top-down attack, Ottawa Fire Department spokesman Nick DeFazio told CTV News . The road has since reopened.
The restaurant was evacuated and firefighters confirmed that no one was still inside. No injuries were reported.
The SFO said in a tweet that firefighters prevented the fire that started on the roof from entering the restaurant, and teams were working to protect the interior from water damage. The fire was under control at 8:17 p.m.
A fire brigade has been dispatched to the scene to determine what caused the fire.
