A family of three was forced to flee for their lives when flames ripped through their home around 11 p.m. Thursday. The family escaped unharmed.
The house sits on an acreage on Cheyanne Meadows Gate North off Burma Road just outside Calgary’s northwest city limits near Bearspaw.
Firefighters from Rocky View, Bearspaw, Springbank and Cochrane all responded. High winds made for challenging firefighting conditions. It took crews more than an hour to get the fire under control.
