Fire Crews Called To East Side High Rise

A fire late yesterday afternoon on a 7th floor balconey at the Skyline apartment building on Mystery Lake Drive. District Chief Gerry Morris says fire crews had to force their way into the apartment because no one was inside at the time. The blaze was contained to the balcony but the 7th floor filled up with smoke and the tenants were not allowed back until it was ventilated. There was another fire later last night at 342 Duke Street West. It was confined to the second floor with damage being minor and no injuries.
