Investigators are working to piece together what caused an explosion and fire at a six-plex in the southeast Calgary community of Mahogany.
Upon arrival to the area of 167 Mahogany Gardens S.E., crews discovered a row of eight connected townhouses on fire, with one of the homes destroyed.During the ordeal and the battle to contain it, four people were injured, including two civilians and two firefighters.The other three people were assessed and treated at the scene.
Because of the proximity of the fire to other homes and how volatile the situation was, neighbouring homes were evacuated, and transit buses were brought in to keep people warm. "I heard a big blast outside. It was a very scary situation. My mom was upstairs, sitting in her room, and she came downstairs and she was so frightened."Anyone with video or photos of the incident is asked to email the Calgary Fire Department at [email protected].
Noer says it's a new build, with 50 units on the side where the fire occurred and another 50 on the other side. "Once we are able to determine the extent of the damage, that'll be that. Damage will be removed and the site will be rebuilt in accordance with architects, engineers and the City of Calgary regulations."
