One person is dead following a garage fire that broke out Saturday evening near the University of Alberta.
Fire crews responded to a call at 109 Street and University Avenue around 5 p.m. and had the fire under control within half an hour. Six trucks were at the scene.
The fire was contained to the detached garage, said district fire chief Troy Brady. The house was boarded up and appeared to be abandoned, however, it could not be confirmed. Crews found a body in the garage, he said.
Edmonton police investigators were at the scene and took over the investigation of the fire and fatality, said Brady.
