A small apartment fire sent emergency crews to Mississauga’s Rockwood Village area early Wednesday.

“It was confined to the balcony,” said Peel Regional Police Const. Paolo Carretta.

Firefighters responded to a blaze at an apartment at 4100 Ponytrail Dr. around 12:45 a.m.

That’s near Rathburn Rd. E. and Burnhamthorpe Rd. E.

Two upper level floors – 10 and 11 – were evacuated for about 90 minutes until the smoke cleared.

Tires and a cover being stored on the balcony are what caught fire.

No injuries have been reported.

The cause is under investigation.
