1 person dead after house fire in northeast Calgary
One person is dead and three were injured in a house fire overnight in northeast Calgary.
Crews were called to the 100 block of Taralake Way N.E. at about 1:20 a.m., Calgary Fire Department spokesperson Carol Henke said.
When crews arrived, flames were visible from both floors of the house and the fire was threatening neighbouring homes.
A teen and an adult who had escaped from the second floor onto the roof were rescued by firefighters.
Once inside the house, firefighters rescued a child who was found unconscious, Henke said.
A deceased adult was also found inside the home.
Two adults who were in the basement at the time of the fire were able to escape the house. They were assessed at the scene by EMS.
Three other patients were taken to hospital.
The fire investigator is at the scene and the Calgary Police Service arson unit is also investigating.
