Apartment blaze keeps fire crews busy Saturday morning

Several people were left out in the cold after a fire broke out in an Elmwood apartment Saturday morning. 

Fire crews were called to the three-storey complex in the 400 block of Henderson Highway just after 9:30 a.m.

Firefighters were able to attack the fire from inside the building, declaring it under control about a half hour later.

Two people were assessed at the scene, but did not need to be transported to hospital. 

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

The city is asking motorists to use caution while driving in the area as water used to fight the fire has created slippery conditions in the area. Crews will be monitoring conditions and applying sand and de-icing agents to roadways and sidewalks as required to improve traction.
