An investigation is underway to determine the cause of a house fire in the northwest Calgary community of Citadel.
Firefighters were called to the home in the 300 block of Citadel Point at about 8:50 p.m. Tuesday night.
When they arrived, crews saw smoke and flames coming from the roof and attic of the two-storey, multi-family townhouse.
The firefighters had to knock down the fire on the exterior before approaching the blaze from inside the home and searching for anyone who might have been inside.
