Ottawa and Wallace firefighers responded some time after 4 p.m. to 2106 Champlain St. for a well-involved fire. The fire caused significant damage to the garge and front of the home.

Nobody was home at the time, according to Ottawa Deputy Fire Chief Brian Bressner. He said more information on the fire may be released later Sunday. The Times will update the story with more information once it's available.
