WFPS crews arrived on-scene around 1:45 p.m. and found a fire underway, with heavy, dark smoke coming from the building.

While focusing on protecting neighbouring homes, crews were able to get the blaze under control around 3:19 p.m.

One firefighter was assessed on-scene by paramedics, but no other injuries were reported. People were evacuated from a neighbouring apartment while firefighters worked as a precautionary measure.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but the building suffered “significant structural damage” during the incident.
