Upon arrival, police officers were able to help all tenants leave the building, according to a spokesperson for the Edmonton Police Service.

They said police initially responded to the residence for a report of an assault and fire but later determined no assault had taken place.

Police also said the two people taken to hospital suffered non-life-threatening injuries when they jumped from a second-storey window.

EFRS said the cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
