Al Schram said it took crews about an hour to get the blaze under control with help from firefighters from nearby Yellowhead County.
“It is believed that the fire was sparked as a result of repairs occurring on a piece of equipment sparking a fuel eruption,” RCMP said in a news release.
Edson is about 200 kilometres west of Edmonton.
