Because of the nature of the fire and propane tanks that were discharging onsite, a defensive attack was employed to battle the flames, and the fire was declared under control at 4:49 p.m.

The structure was unoccupied at the time of the fire, a media release said.

An Ottawa Fire Services investigator was dispatched to the scene to determine the cause.
