An investigation is underway to determine what caused a fire on the roof of Rideau Park School on Tuesday evening.
Calgary fire crews were called to the school, located in the 800 block of Rideau Road S.W., at around 5 p.m.
When they arrived, firefighters could see smoke and flames coming from the roof of the building.
The fire was extinguished and no injuries were reported.
Officials said workers had been at the school doing work on the roof with non-power tools. The crew of workers had left for the day before the fire started. The Calgary Fire Department (CFD) said Tuesday an investigator is looking into any connection between work being done on the roof and the cause of the fire.
The school, which houses about 415 students from Kindergarten to Grade 9, was built in 1930. However, the fire started in the newer part of the building.
The CFD is asking for any photos, video or information on the fire to be emailed to piofire@calgary.ca.
