Fire Services responds to multi-structure fire

City of Leduc Fire Services responded to a multi-structure fire on 50 Street in Leduc during the early morning hours of Sept. 17, the cause of which is under investigation. 

The fire involved four properties: one commercial property under construction, a single-family home and a duplex. The occupied homes were evacuated; residents received support from Victim Services and have been moved to a hotel. No injuries were reported.
