The fire appeared to be contained to one suite and the building’s exterior wasn’t visibly damaged, a Global News camera operator observed.

Three other building residents refused medical treatment, Cannell said.

Another was assessed on scene and did not require transport to hospital, the city said in a press release.

Fire crews were leaving the scene at about 6:15 p.m., having extinguished the blaze at about 5:45 p.m.

Investigators have not yet determined the cause of the blaze.
