City fire crews called out last night at 8:00 to 230 Mount Pleasant Avenue East where they discovered heavy smoke coming from the rear of a one and a half storey home. 

Division Chief Mark Wilson says they also got information a woman may have been inside but a search determined the house was empty.
 
The cause is undetermined but both fire and police are investigating. The building has been vacant for the past two months while the owner carries out renovations.
