Media Release: Hamilton Fire Department

At approximately 6:52 am this morning (Thursday September 4, 2025) the Hamilton Fire Department received a report of a house struck by lightening and on fire at 484 Ofield Road, near the Hwy #5 in Greensville. On arrival crews reported a large one storey house with heavy smoke and flames visible through the roof. Immediately the incident was upgraded to a multiple alarm, bringing additional crews in from across the City. All residents had evacuated safely prior to the Fire Departments arrival. Firefighters entered the building with multiple hose lines to initiate fire suppression operations. They were supported by additional firefighters deployed via aerial ladder to open roof and assist in extinguishment. This has been a very stubborn attic/roof fire. Crews are still on scene working to extinguish hot spots. The area where the house is located is rural in nature and as such multiple Tankers were utilized to shuttle water to the scene. The house has sustained significant damage which is estimated to be in the neighbourhood of $1,000,000. The OFM has been notified do to the potential dollar loss. No injuries have been reported at this time.
