Investigators are searching for the cause of a fire in a new four storey hotel under construction in Orleans.
The Ottawa Fire Service says the blaze started in a main floor electrical room of the building on St. Joseph Blvd.
The blaze was contained to the room, but there is “light smoke damage” throughout the building.
Officials believe the fire started in the building’s main electrical panel.
Damage is estimated at $50-thousand. No one was injured.
