Crews battle fire at Battery Depot in Regina
CBC
Several roads were closed Tuesday morning in Regina due to a fire at a commercial building near Winnipeg Street and Dewdney Avenue.
Based on photos and observations, it appears part of Battery Depot was up in flames.
Regina police sent a news release around 3 a.m. urging drivers and pedestrians to avoid the area.
Several surrounding roads were closed off. Police didn't specify which roads they were, but emergency vehicles could be seen re-routing traffic a block south of Dewdney.
Police said they didn't know the cause of the fire yet. It is under investigation.
The Rachel Notley government's consumer carbon tax wound up becoming a weapon the UCP wielded to drum the Alberta NDP out of office. But that levy-and-repayment program, and the wide-ranging "climate leadership plan" around it, also stood as the NDP's boldest, provincial-reputation-altering move in their single-term tenure.
