London Fire Department (LFD) said that some residents were evacuated by an aerial truck on their exterior balcony.

The fire was extinguished, however the LFD did issue a reminder to keep doors closed to prevent smoke from entering apartments.

It also recommended sheltering in place if smoke is encountered in a residential apartment building.
