A fire destroyed a historic Douglas building on Jan. 5, 2026, but all occupants and pets escaped safely.
A historic three-storey building in Douglas, Ottawa Valley, was destroyed by a fire on January 5, 2026, after flames erupted in its recently renovated tavern section.
All six occupants and three pets escaped safely, having evacuated hours earlier.
Despite efforts by the Douglas Fire Department and five mutual aid units, the fire spread rapidly through hidden spaces, collapsing the original hotel portion within 25 minutes.
Inconsistent water supply and the building’s complex layout hampered firefighting, and an excavator used to create a fire break worsened conditions.
The cause remains under investigation.
