EDMONTON – A St. Albert family was forced from their home Friday night, after a fire broke out.
Fire crews were called to the home, in the Heritage Lakes area, around 7:30 p.m.
Firefighters say when they arrived there were large flames and heavy smoke coming from the back of the home.
Firefighters say they were able to quickly get the fire under control. The house suffered extensive damage, but fire investigator Les Mroz with St. Albert Fire Services say the damage is mainly to the exterior of the home.
The houses next door to the one that burned suffered minor siding damage.
“In this case, there’s good spatial separation between the lots, so that helped a lot… from the fire – the damage – spreading to those houses,” Mroz explained.
At this time it’s not known what caused the fire.
