No one was injured but a building was destroyed in an early morning fire in Cole Harbour.

On X just before 5 a.m. on Monday, RCMP said Caldwell Road between Brookfield Avenue and Sherwood Street was closed as crews worked to extinguish a structure fire.

Police asked people to avoid the area.

Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency tells the Acadia Broadcasting newsroom that the retail building had been under construction, and it was a total loss.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
