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.

Rocky View Fire Services’ chief said the home is a complete writeoff. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
