Mississauga fire crews continue to battle a fire at an apartment building construction site at Tannery Road and Joymar Drive in the Streetsville area of Mississauga.

Peel police said they received the call at 7:05 p.m.

A Mississauga News photographer on scene said it is a large fire. But the most recent reports indicate the fire is contained and crews no longer fear it spreading.

He added the wind was blowing embers south into an industrial area down Tannery Road, causing a second fire at another location. Crews were able to quickly extinguish that one, but continue to battle the main fire.

According to a source with the fire department on scene, fire officials are investigating the possibility that propane tanks onsite exploded.

While the fire is contained, Mississauga fire chief, Tim Beckett, told reporters on scene he expected crews to be onsite overnight putting out the blaze.

Power in the area was out for about 45 minutes, but has been restored for most residents.

Some nearby residences have been evacuated. A nearby seniors home remains occupied and according to mayor Bonnie Crombie, there are no longer any plans to evacuate residents who are now considered safe.

Evacuees are being staged at a nearby plaza and being temporarily housed in transit buses.

Peel paramedics said there were no injuries as a result of the fire. Police are asking people to avoid the area until further notice.
