An early morning house fire in Georgetown destroyed a home and jumped to a neighbouring house.

According to a CHCH News freelancer the fire broke out around 4:30 a.m. at 103 Arborglen Drive and people were on the roof when the Halton Hills fire crews arrived.

Four people were taken to hospital with unknown injuries and the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal has been notified.

There was reportedly an explosion and garage doors were blown across the street. The garage was fully involved in the fire and spread to the house. Electric vehicles were said to be inside.

Halton Hills fire crews used defensive and aerial operations to fight the fire and the Milton Fire Department was called in for additional assistance.
