The St James crematorium was not destroyed or damaged by fire and is still standing and doing cremations as of Wednesday morning.
Videos and photos circulated on social media on Tuesday evening suggested the building was on fire.
Speaking with Newsday, acting Chief Fire Officer Marlon Smith confirmed while the fire service had received a report of a fire at the building, neither the staff nor the building was in danger.
Smith said officers from the St James Fire Station found the building intact.
"We visited the location but it turned out to be a regular exercise at the site, so there was no cause for us to extinguish any fire.
