Fire officials say the flames started in the garage of a house on Georgian Rd. – near Dundas St. E. and Trafalgar Rd. – around 11:45 p.m.

Oakville Fire Chief Paul Boissonneault told CP24 six people, including an infant, were inside the home when the blaze erupted.

Firefighters rescued four people and two others managed to get themselves out of the fire.

“There was one male patient who went to (Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital) with potential burns on his hands, presumably from maybe trying to open the garage door when he encountered flames, and there was a female, adult patient and an infant that were transported based on precautionary measures for potential smoke inhalation,” Boissoneault said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
