Officials say an early morning fire in southeast Calgary is under control, but two homes were damaged.

The Calgary Fire Department was called to a home in the 2000 block of 41 Street S.E., in the community of Forest Lawn, at 3:45 a.m.

When firefighters arrived, they saw smoke and flames at the home and an adjacent duplex.

The first home was unoccupied, but six people in the duplex escaped safely.

No one was injured.

Officials tell CTV News it appears the fire began in the space between the two homes.

Jasmine Sablay, who lives in the duplex, says she was shocked about what was going on at first, but she knew to call 911.
