Fire crews battle blaze in southwest Calgary duplex
Fire crews battled a blaze at a duplex in southwest Calgary on Thursday.
Flames and thick smoke could be seen coming from the roof of the home, along the 2100 block of Paliswood Road S.W.
Just before 5 p.m., the Calgary Fire Department received multiple 911 calls about the fire.
One of the callers was the resident, who told CFD it started in the upstairs bathroom shower.
The resident said they tried to put the fire out with an extinguisher, but couldn't and they were able to get out OK.
Crews started with an interior attack, but then put up the aerials to douse the roof with water and were able to put the fire out.
A Calgary Fire Department spokesperson said no one was injured.
There was heavy damage to the roof and attic.
The spokesperson said it appeared there were renovations going on at the home where the fire started.
The adjacent duplex unit has smoke damage.
Crews remained on scene into the evening to check for hot spots.
Investigation into the cause continues.
