Crews were forced to fight the fire from the outside.

“They had difficulties gaining entry. There was a lot of debris inside the house so they found fighting the fire from the outside was a little bit safer,” Edmonton Fire Rescue District Chief Leonard Mushtuk said.

“Nobody was inside. The occupants made their way out, and crews have been working hard to extinguish from the outside and they’re just gaining entry inside where they can effectively work safely.”
