Residents on Veltkamp Crescent were evacuated from their homes Friday morning after a fire broke out at a nearby building under construction.

Several 911 calls were received by the Saskatoon Fire Department, which responded with four engines, a ladder truck and a rescue truck.

The multi-unit apartment building was in the framing stage of construction, and was engulfed in flames when crews arrived.

The Saskatoon Fire Department pegs damages to be around $400,000. The cause of the fire has not yet been released, as the incident remains under investigation.

Buildings on either side of the fire, and one nearby vehicle also sustained exterior damage from the blaze.

Crews were able to control the fire, and no injuries have been reported.

In April, officials investigated a rash of same-day fires in the same neighbourhood. Two houses, a garage, a vehicle, and a construction trailer were damaged in the blaze, and damage was estimated at $450,000.

No damage estimates have been released for Friday morning's fire.

A fire investigator remains on scene.
