Crews got the call at 6:47 p.m. for reports of a fire at the rear of the hospital.

Platoon Chief Don Enns said crews arrived and saw smoke and flames at the exterior of two garages belonging to carpentry staff.

Since the fire was at a hospital, officials declared a second alarm to ensure plenty of resources were there to help.
