Thunder Bay Fire Rescue responded at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Sunday to an alarm for a report of a “possible” structure fire in the 1200 block of Donald Street East.
When the six pumpers, a command unit and aerial ladder arrived, crews determined the fire was a contents fire on the second floor of the apartment.
Due to the quick response by the crew of Fire Station 1, the fire was brought under control. There were no injuries to occupants or firefighters at the scene.
An on-scene investigation determined the cause of the fire was improperly discarded smoking materials. Damage was limited to the apartment of the fire’s origin where renovations were taking place.
