Emergency crews responded to a garage fire at 402 Byrne Rd. around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday.
The area was cordoned off by the Yellowknife Fire Division as firefighters fought the blaze. Thick smoke billowed from behind the residence.
A report of a possible presence of propane tanks in the garage prompted on-scene MED officers to close traffic between Bromley Street and Woolgar Avenue.
Most of the blaze was quelled by 5 p.m. The cause of the fire is not yet determined.
More to come.
