Three people are in stable condition in hospital after a two-storey Calgary townhouse caught fire on Saturday morning.
Calgary fire crews say the fire started on the top floor of the four-suite building. Seven people were able to self-evacuate: three were brought to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation and one other was treated on scene. "Our crew in the area was actually out getting fuel, so they arrived on scene at 11:24 a.m., one minute after the initial call," he said.
Hawthorne says she still isn't sure how everyone inside was able to evacuate, but she's relieved they were. "It was starting to go to the neighbours' side when I saw it," she said. "The wind was blowing so it was coming out really heavy and the smoke was thick. It was intense."A total of 13 fire apparatus attended the scene and will remain there throughout Saturday evening to extinguish any hot spots.
