Eight homes have been affected by a structure fire in a Fort Saskatchewan neighbourhood Sunday morning.
Fire crews arrived at the scene just after 4 a.m. to find the back side of a section of the eight-unit complex at West Park Drive and Woodsmere Close on fire, said Fort Saskatchewan fire chief Todd Martens.
The Fort Saskatchewan Fire Department was able to get the fire under control around 9 a.m., however the two middle units are a complete loss, said Martens.
