Historic Hangar Catches Fire in Central Edmonton

A large fire broke out at a historic municipal airport hangar in central Edmonton on Monday night, consuming most of the building by 8:30 p.m. The fire, which was upgraded to a second-alarm response, caused heavy smoke and flames to pour out of Hangar 11, believed to be the last remaining structure of its kind in Western Canada. No injuries have been reported so far, but LRT service on the Metro Line has been temporarily suspended to the new NAIT/Blatchford Market station due to the fire.
