No injuries were reported and the fire scene is currently being held by CKFES for investigation.
No further details will be released as this time, CKFES added.
Firefighters from the same stations were also called to 595 Wallace St. just after 3 am Sunday regarding reports of smoke coming from the boarded up property.
Crews arrived to find smoke coming from the second storey of the multi-residential structure and flames coming out the rear door, CKFES said.
“Firefighters were able to quickly knock down the fire from the open door, however, worked for several more hours to gain access to the rest of the boarded structure.”
Fire crews completed primary and secondary searches of the building to ensure it was empty before turning the property back over to the owner, CKFES said.
No injuries were reported, CKFES said, adding the cause is undetermined and the damage estimate is unknown.
