Roads were blocked off in the area while crews battled the blaze.

The Calgary Fire Department said the most damage to the home appeared to be on the deck and in the garage.

“There was no one home at the time and I believe there’s two cats unaccounted for, but that doesn’t mean they’re in the house,” Batalion Chief Al Magwood, with the Calgary Fire Department, said.”
