The Calgary Fire Department extinguished two blazes — one in Saddle Ridge and the other in Sundance — on Sunday.
Crews responded to a 911 call in the 100 block of Saddlemont Close N.E. at noon. Smoke was emerging from a two-storey house, and the CFD struck a second alarm.
Firefighters “quickly brought it under control” and rescued a fish and a dog, officials said.

Both fires are under investigation.
