A fire crew blocked off the alley behind the Fairmont condo at 11920 100 Ave. and taped off an area where insulation and pieces of the exterior remained.

Claire Harvey, who speaks for the Edmonton Fire Rescue Services, said no one was injured and that the fire crew would continue to block off the alley until the area is declared safe.

Harvey said weather was the cause of the piece of the building coming down.

According to Environment Canada wind gusts reached 70 km/h and were blowing steady around 50 km/h Thursday.
