Three people are without a place to stay following an early morning garage fire in the southeast.
Around 6:35 a.m., the Calgary Fire Department received multiple calls reporting flames coming from a garage on Auburn Bay Manor southeast.
Callers said a resident was seen trying to use an extinguisher to fight the fire but was overwhelmed by the flames. CFD said the fire continued to grow due to what was inside the garage, though they didn’t disclose what said items were.
When firefighters arrived, the garage was fully engulfed in flames with the fire spreading to the house on the same property. Fire crews were quick to bring the fire under control and stopped the flames from spreading to other neighbouring buildings.
No injuries were reported.
