The top storey of the large Calgary Condo Fire building was destroyed, and burning roof debris was raining down in front of firefighters while huge crowds were standing across street videoing on cell phones. Most building occupants were not home, EMS officials said, presumed to be at work. Others ran to safety on their own accord or were led to safety.
Seventeen people were assessed for smoke inhalation but there were no injuries to residents or firefighters. Several hundred people left homeless by a massive fire in southeast Calgary are now looking for new homes.
The building is uninhabitable in its current form, the acting director of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency. Canvas, the condo developer, is working with the church to get donations to fire victims. About 300 people live in the complex.
By mid-afternoon, firefighters were turning their efforts to finding trapped pets. The top storey of the large condo building was destroyed, and burning roof debris was raining down in front of firefighters while huge crowds were standing across street videoing on cell phones.
Witnesses describe a dramatic scene at the fire, where Macleod Trail drivers can see the flames and towering plumes of black smoke. Resident Laura Clark, 26, came home for lunch when she heard the fire alarm go off.
We should care our properties, Real estate and our furniture, because one thing can burn our all house and official materials.
