OTTAWA – A failed aquarium pump is believed to be the cause of an electric fire Sunday evening  at 341 Gloucester Street.

Fire crews arrived just before 7:30 p.m. to a three storey, three unit row house complex where they found one of the units on fire.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames.

No one was injured, but as a result of the fire there was a heavy amount of soot so the one person was advised to find another place to stay overnight.

The damage is estimated at $5,000.
