    Updated fire script: Calgary fire crews responded to a house fire just before 9:45 Wednesday morning — a block away from the mount pleasant fire station in the city’s northwest.

    Fire crews battled a house fire at a vacant property in northwest Calgary on Wednesday morning.

    The Calgary Fire Department (CFD) says crews were dispatched around 9:45 a.m. after a firefighter smelled smoke coming from a home on 27 Avenue NW in Mount Pleasant — one block from a fire station.

    When firefighters arrived, they found a fire on the main floor of a vacant home with ‘for sale’ sign on the front.

    Crews search the home and no one was found inside. No injuries have been reported at this point.

    The home where the fire originated was badly damaged, but crews were able to stop it from spreading to neighbouring homes.

    A fire investigator has been called to the scene to determine the cause of the blaze.
