The first call was on Avenue W South, in between the Pleasant Hill and Meadowgreen neighbourhoods, shortly after 10 p.m. Fire crews reported heavy smoke coming from a garage and began an “aggressive” fight, bringing it under control in ten minutes, according to a statement.
No damage estimate was given. It is considered suspicious and is under investigation.
Firefighters were called to a second garage behind 428 Ave. E South in the Riversdale neighbourhood at 10:30 p.m. A statement said the fire was small and quickly put out, though there was minimal damage.
