About 50 residents of a Kensington apartment building were forced from their warm beds Saturday morning, after being jolted awake by the fire alarm.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a fire.
A water pipe had burst and fire officials say there was a ‘river of water’ flowing down the stairs and into the lobby.
The Fire Department called in a Calgary Transit bus to the building, at 100-10-A Street N.W., to keep the residents warm while crews fixed the problem.
There was significant water damage to one suite and only minor damage to several others.
