When crews arrived, they noticed the fire was coming from the building’s rooftop.

Residents were evacuated from the building and assessed by paramedics, before one person was taken to hospital.

Crews were able to extinguish the fire and the cause remains under investigation.

ERFS were called to another fire around 4:24 a.m., after receiving a report of a garage fire near 103 Avenue and 145 Street.

EFRS says no injuries were reported.

Lastly, fire crews responded to a report of a grass fire off Hayter Road around 3:55 a.m.
