Multiple fire crews battling blaze in south end Halifax

Several fire crews are working on extinguishing a blaze in Halifax’s south end this morning.

Halifax Regional Police say crews responded to the scene at 5450 Inglis Street just before 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The fire seems to be coming out of the roof of the Knightsbridge heritage complex, a 15-unit dwelling.

Police say officers and fire crews will be on scene for much of the morning and residents are asked to avoid the area.

There is no word yet on the cause or the extent of the damage.

There is also no word on whether there were any injuries.

Inglis Street is closed from Tower Road to Victoria Road. Surrounding side streets are also closed.

More to come.
