Firefighters were called to a garage fire Tuesday afternoon in Sudbury's Valley East area.
As a result, police have closed Valleyview Road between Evans Road and Fournier Drive, Greater Sudbury Police Service said on social media at 1:20 p.m.
Deputy fire chief Jesse Oshell said crews have the fire under control.
The blaze began inside a garage where a vehicle was being worked on, but the exact cause has yet to be determined, Oshell told CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca in a phone interview.
It is not being considered suspicious.
The garage is a complete loss Oshell said.
No one has been injured as a result of the fire.

Because it is a busy road with two nearby schools, police will be performing traffic control.
There is no threat to neighbouring properties or the school.
It may take a couple of hours to extinguish the fire, Oshell said just before 2 p.m.
Because the automotive type of garage contains chemicals and miscellaneous products, there may be environmental impacts as a result of the fire.
