Man burned in fire at Calgary apartment building
Emergency crews were called to this building on 10 Avenue S.E. for reports of a fire that resulted in serious injuries to one man.
Officials say a man is in hospital in serious condition following a fire that broke out late Saturday night.
Calgary EMS told CTV News they were called to the scene of a fire at a high-rise on 10 Avenue S.E. at about 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 8.
Fire crews had also been dispatched to the scene, but officials say the building's fire suppression system had already doused the blaze.
Nevertheless, a man in his 50s was found in the affected unit, suffering from serious burns.
He was taken to Foothills Medical Centre in serious, potentially life-threatening condition.
The investigation into what caused the fire is underway.
