Updated: Edmonton firefighters take on blaze in city's southeast

Edmonton firefighters spent several hours Saturday afternoon on the scene of a major fire that destroyed a commercial building in the city’s southeast.
Emergency crews responded to a report of an explosion just after 1:30 p.m. in the area of Wagner Road and 83 Street, just across the street from W.P. Wagner high school.
“We were just driving down the road and saw the smoke billowing in the sky,” said Echo Peters, one of the first witnesses to the scene.
