The Ministry of the Environment has been contacted due to a fire at an auto wrecker in the east end of Guelph.

Guelph Fire Department Deputy Chief John Osborne tells CTV News that the initial call came in at 7:21 p.m. at Nicklin Auto Parts and Recyclers on Eastview Road.

Thirty firefighters from the Guelph Fire Department and the Guelph/Eramosa Fire Department are at the scene now, and more will be called in due to the extreme heat. The fire is currently contained within the building.

One person has been taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The cause of the fire and a damage estimate is still under investigation.
