Thunder Bay Fire and Rescue officials say a cigarette may be to blame for a Wednesday afternoon fire at a daycare.
Crews responded to reports of smoke coming from a building on Grenville Avenue at around 5:30 p.m. The two-storey facility included residences on the top floor and a daycare downstairs.
One person was inside at the time of the fire, but that person was able to get out safely. People on scene said they saw smoke coming from inside a wall.
Firefighters believe a cigarette butt fell from the second floor and landed inside a wall, where it continued to burn.
Officials believe the cigarette could have been burning inside the wall for hours. No injuries were reported. Enditem
