Niagara police are asking people to avoid an area in Lincoln, Ont., due to a fatal house fire Monday afternoon.

In a post on X around 3:30 p.m., officers say Nineteenth Street is closed between Seventh Avenue and Glen Elgin Drive as emergency crews investigate.

A Niagara police spokesperson confirmed to CHCH News that this is a fatal fire, but no victim identification is being released at this time.

Officers say it is too early in the investigation to determine a cause or estimate the extent of the damage.

Ontario’s Office of the Fire Marshal has been notified.

This is a developing news story. More to come.
