The Calgary Fire Department says the force of the explosion created a large debris field, several fires and damage to surrounding houses in a northeastern neighbourhood.Adam Loria, a spokesman for Calgary Emergency Medical Services, says all the people sent to hospital are adults.Loria said there were no children involved and the explosion involved a single-family home.
Crews have been unable to search the site and look for other victims due to structural problems with the home.“It was quite the group effort, not only with EMS, to ensure all patients were cared for and transported in a timely fashion, but as well with our first responder partners Calgary police and Calgary fire,” Loria said.Fire and police are on scene trying to determine the cause of the blast.
