A large fire has caused significant damage to a home in the southeast community of Cranston.

Calgary Fire Department crews were called to the home on Cranberry Cove S.E. at around 3 p.m. on Saturday.

According to the CFD, crews were met with a large volume of smoke and flames coming from the front of a two-storey home.

Fire crews contained the majority of the damage to the front of the home, and there were no injuries in the fire, CFD said.

The CFD, as well as a fire investigator, remained on scene to determine the cause of the fire.

“The Calgary Fire Department reminds citizens that smoke and CO alarms help save lives and would like to see them installed, maintained and regularly tested in all homes,” a CFD media release said.
