There were no injuries, but a major fire has caused extensive damage
to the CTV Ottawa facilities at 1500 Merivale Road in Ottawa.
The Four Alarm Blaze at CJOH at Merivale Road and Clyde Avenue is now
out.
One employee says damage visible through a shattered widow indicates
the TV newsroom was very seriously hit. It could be days before staff
can return to the building, but planning is underway now to continue
production from the 'A' television facilities in the CHUM Market Media
building in the Byward Market.
A stretch of Merivale Road has been blocked in front of the building.
There is no vehicle access to Merivale between Clyde and Baseline
Roads. Sixty four firefighters responded at about 4:20 this morning.
A lone security guard in the building when the flames erupted escaped
uninjured.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
(Damage is now pegged at $2.5 million)
