Two  families have been displaced after a fire at a home in Barrie.

The fire happened at a multi-unit home on Grove Street, near Peel Street on Sunday afternoon.

The flames were found in the basement of the home and quickly extinguished. However, it did cause about $80,000 in damage.

There was some concern that people were trapped inside, but after a search of the building, those fears were eased. No injuries are reported.

Barrie fire investigators are now searching for the cause.
