Elbow Drive fire deemed suspicious

Police now think a large house fire in the southwest Saturday afternoon was likely deliberately set.

The blaze in the 4200 block of Elbow Dr. destroyed a large home and sent thick black smoke wafting through the air which could be seen from many corners of the city.

The Calgary Police Service Arson Unit believes the fire is suspicious and is asking anyone with information about it, or people who may have been in the area at the time when the fire began, to give them or Crime Stoppers a call.

The home belonged to Irene Besse, a local piano store owner and member of the city’s music scene. The home was up for sale and no one had lived there for the last two years.
