The Calgary Fire Department says one person was taken to hospital on Thursday after a fire broke out in a southeast industrial building.
Firefighters arrived at the building in the 6400 block of 42 Street Southeast just before 10 a.m.
“The fire started as a result of some mechanical work which accidentally ignited insulation,” the CFD said in a news release. “The fire then travelled inside the wall and ceiling area.”
