A Thursday morning house fire in a southeast Calgary neighbourhood caused significant damage to one home, a garage, a fence and a shed.
Carol Henke, Calgary Fire Department public information officer, confirmed to Global News that fire crews were called to a home on Riverbend Gate Southeast, in the community of Riverbend, at around 9:20 a.m.

Firefighters were met by flames and smoke pouring from the property when they arrived in the alleyway of the home. It was determined that all residents were safe and had escaped from the home unharmed.
Two cats were rescued from the basement of the burning house.
According to Henke, the fire was doused before it could significantly spread, but the neighbouring homes on either side were damaged by the heat.
Nueka, a neighbour’s medium-sized dog, fled the area during the fire response. The owner and her dog were reunited shortly before noon.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
