Three buildings were affected by a fire in downtown Redwater on Sunday (July 2) evening.
The fire broke out late in the afternoon near the old Home Hardware location by Satellite News and Confectionary on 49 Street.
"The fire was being fanned by strong winds and there is damage to at least three buildings at this time," said the Town of Redwater in a release. "We have not been advised of any injuries as a result of the fire, however, there may be several residents of nearby homes that will have to be relocated at least overnight."
"We are awaiting formal reports from the fire and police departments and are unable to comment on any cause."
Redwater Mayor Dave McRae offered his thanks for the help provided by surrounding fire departments.
"I would like to thank our first responders for their quick and efficient response and offer a huge thank you to our mutual aid partners who responded with resources from as far away as Morinville and Fort Saskatchewan."
More information is expected to be released in the coming days.
