Woman sent to hospital after early morning fire

The Calgary Fire Department is investigating a house fire in the southwest early Monday morning.

Acting Battalion Chief Bruce Gelhorn said they arrived just around 1 a.m.

“One person was home at the time. They self-evacuated before the fire department arrived — There was fire in the basement and some involvement on the main floor when we arrived,” Gelhorn said.

Two homes on either side of the fire were evacuated as a precaution, but residents were eventually allowed to go back into their homes.

The cause of the blaze is not yet known.
