The Ontario Fire Marshal has been contacted after a fire on the second floor of a townhouse in east Barrie.
Fire crews responded to the residence on Blake Street, near Johnson Street, shortly after 7:30 Friday morning.
Barrie Fire says nobody was home when the fire broke out, and a passerby alerted emergency crews about the blaze, which was quickly doused.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
