Residents of a west Edmonton apartment building were evacuated from their homes Tuesday night after a fire broke out inside a fourth floor suite.
Fire crews were called to a four-storey building near 170th Street and 64th Avenue around 7:30 p.m., Edmonton Fire Rescue spokesperson Claire Graff told CBC News on Wednesday.
Graff said firefighters noticed light smoke coming from the fourth floor of the building but, once inside, they found heavier smoke and flames.
The fire was contained to one suite and was brought under control by 8 p.m.
No one was injured.
The Emergency Support Response Team and about 20 firefighters on scene helped evacuate the entire 59-suite building. Graff said two city busses were also brought to the scene to provide residents temporary warmth and shelter.
Most of the smoke and water damage was isolated to the fourth floor, Graff said. Some residents have been allowed to re-enter their suites. About 25 people remain displaced.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
