The Saanich Fire Department was busy Wednesday morning, mopping up after an earlier shed fire near the corner Gorge Road West and Adelaide Avenue.

Capt. Aaron Charlton said the fire was out within a matter of minutes. Four teams initially responded to the call, as the shed was attached to a home.

At this stage in the investigation, crews believe the cause of the fire to be electrical, due to an old refrigerator inside the shed.

No one was injured.
