Edmonton Fire Rescue Services said it was called at 6:23 a.m. to the structure fire at 110 Avenue and 123 Street.

Crews arrived on scene five minutes later to find a working fire at the back of the duplex, where a set of stairs led up to the third floor of the property.

Flames could be seen shooting from the top of the house and a second alarm was declared at 6:51 a.m., the city said.

There were no reported injuries because the home was under construction.
