No one was injured and no other buildings were damaged, but the area was evacuated, Strathcona County Department Fire Chief Vern Elliot said.

Brush and debris made fighting the fire a bit of a challenge, Elliot added.

Twenty-one firefighters were called to the first alarm blaze.

Crews brought the fire under control before 9:30 a.m.
