Smoke filled the sky over Edmonton’s Blatchford neighbourhood early this morning as firefighters extinguished a fire at a vacant airplane hangar.
Fire crews responded to the building near 121st Street and 120th Avenue around 3 a.m. this morning.
The flames, along with smoke were visible from an office corridor linking two hangar bays on the property according to Edmotnon Fire and Rescue Services .
Although a second alarm was called at 3:19 a.m. The blaze appeared to be contained to the corridor and did not spread to the other nearby hangars.
No one was inside the building at the time and no injuries were reported.
The building, formerly called the Spar Aerospace facility, has been vacant for a number of years after the municipal airport shut down and the area was rezoned into residential.
Spar Aerospace closed its Edmonton doors to the public in 2009.
An investigation is underway and che cause of the fire has yet to be determined
