The Ontario Fire Marshal's office is investigating a blaze that completely destroyed a single-detached home on Pagé Road early this morning.

Firefighters were dispatched to the home at 2243 Pagé Rd. at around 12:35 a.m after receiving multiple 9-1-1 calls.

The house, which is located on the east side of Pagé Road between Innes and Meadowglen, has been under construction for nearly three years. A scaffolding running along the entire length of the house is all that remains of the home which has not been occupied in quite sometime.

The property is also surrounded by a seven-foot high safety fence.

Besides consuming the house, the fire also caused a considerable amount of damage to the property next door, melting away the siding from the side of the house and charring the plywood underneath.

The cause of the fire will be determined during the investigation.
