Police and the fire department are investigating possible criminal activity in a garage that erupted in flames on the northeast of the city Sunday afternoon.

A man and a woman were transported to the University of Alberta Hospital with minor burns after firefighters responded to the fire around 12:16 p.m. on 66 Street, just north of 144 Avenue.

Edmonton police told CTV Edmonton that they are looking into possible criminal activity, in what they call “a drug lab component.”

Police also told CTV Edmonton that there were two children inside the duplex near the garage that was on fire, and they are working with child services.

Police and the fire department are investigating the cause of the fire.
