Black smoke billowed into the air Sunday evening in Red Deer’s Grandview neighbourhood.
Red Deer Emergency Services responded around 6:45 to NAPA Autopro at the intersection of 40 Avenue and Ross Street.
Thankfully, says Platoon Chief Chuck Ruether, the fire looked worse than it actually was.
“There was a shed and some tires that created a lot of smoke, so the appearance looked like a big fire,” he says. “For a short time, it was a pretty dark cloud, but it was just a shed fire that had extended to some tires.”
