Crews are investigating after a northeast Calgary fire shut down a crescent on Saturday.
Firefighters responded to heavy smoke coming from a detached garage on the 0-100 block of Saddlemont Crescent N.E. before noon.
With the amount of smoke and proximity of houses, the Calgary Fire Department called a second alarm to get more resources on scene.
The CFD wasn’t certain about the source home’s damage but said that three people were going to be displaced in the short term. Pets were in the home at the time; a dog was later reunited with the family but a cat was missing.
AHS was there to assess people but no one needed to go to the hospital.
Officers said houses on either side were impacted and had extensive damage. Individuals inside were displaced but should be able to return home in the evening, the CFD said.
Police said the road leading into the crescent was closed until the area was deemed safe.
ATCO and ENMAX were called to ensure there were no disruptions to services, the CFD said.
The fire’s cause is under investigation.
The garage fire marked the second one of the day in Calgary.
