Damage was extensive but there were no injuries after an accidental electrical fire in Labrador City.
Crews responded to the fire at an apartment on Avalon Drive shortly before 9 p.m. last night.
The blaze caused significant damage to the basement, but did not spread to any nearby units.
Due to the power outages in Lab West, RNC say there is an increased risk of electrical fires. Residents are reminded to turn off or unplug any electronics and large appliances.
Thermostats or AC units should be set to low or turned off completely.
Only one light should be left on as an indicator that power has been restored.
