"I was getting up to go to the washroom and I thought the wife left the lights on because it was bright. When I stepped outside I seen it was pretty high and the roof was already on fire," neighbour Bill Desjardins told CTV News.
"It’s even melted some of the siding on our cottage, I just noticed that now. So, the heat was very intense."
Desjardins said the volunteer firefighters arrived in a matter of minutes and acted fast upon arrival.
"The volunteers did an excellent job on containing it and protecting the camps on both sides," he said.
