An abandoned building in central Edmonton, next to the site of a major fire at the former Milla Pub in November 2021, was destroyed by fire Sunday evening.
Edmonton firefighters were called to the scene near 105 Avenue and 101 Street around 6 p.m. Sunday.
District chief Howard Samycia, with Edmonton Fire Rescue Services, said firefighters were unable to enter the building due to the extent of the fire.
He said additional crews were called to help attack the fire from the exterior.
At 7 p.m., Brittany Eveneshen, a spokesperson for Edmonton Fire Rescue Services, said six units (approximately 20-24 firefighters) were on scene to get the fire under control.
Around 8 p.m., fire crews were still unable to enter the building.
“We’re still unable to get crews inside the building because conditions inside are just disintegrated,” Samycia said.
No injuries were reported and Samycia said the building was abandoned and had caught fire in the past.
