The fire was extinguished overnight but maintenance work continues within the facility and residents can expect to see additional flaring and black smoke, she adds.
The CBC has reported that some residents said they heard an explosion from the site and sirens ongoing for more than 12 hours.
Imperial says there were no injuries from incident and the response is ongoing.
Schmidt says a review of available air quality data does not indicate any impact from the event.
