“We knocked the fire down quickly and had it under control within a reasonable amount of time,” Lezaruik said.
“The cold weather kind of hampered extinguishing the fire.”
The cost of the damage is not yet known, but visible fire damage could be seen from the outside of the house.
Lezaruik said the home was under renovation at the time.
He said it doesn’t appear at this time that the fire is linked to the ongoing series of extortion and arsons in and around Edmonton.
