Smoke was seen coming from a garage or shed type building on Cedar Avenue, Friday afternoon.

Fire crews arrived on scene to find a lock had been cut to the building and light smoke was coming from the roof, about 1:20 p.m. A blaze was confirmed inside the building, which firefighters quickly extinguished.

Two fire trucks as well as RCMP responded to the call.

The building has a sign on the front for Notary Tarja K McLean and fire crews are not allowing anyone inside until it is deemed safe.

This same building caught fire back in 2013 after an issue involving working on a new roof.

The cause of this fire is not yet known.
