A fire at a large storage building in Strathcona County on Tuesday night saw fire crews bring in three fire trucks, two brush trucks and four water tankers to battle the blaze.
According to Devin Capcara, a deputy fire chief with Strathcona County Emergency Services, firefighters were called to the blaze at a rural property north of the hamlet of Ardrossan at about 6 p.m.
Capcara said when crews arrived, they found a fully involved structure fire in and around an equipment storage shed.
He said firefighters were able to stop the blaze from spreading to a neighbouring property.
The storage shed was destroyed but Capcara did not provide details on the contents that were damaged.
Exploding gas cylinders made for a challenging fire fight, the county said.
