Emergency crews arrived around 2 p.m., following calls to 911 about a house fire on the 100 block of Cougartown Close S.W.
Firefighters arrived to discover one house fully engulfed, with fire spreading to the house next door, prompting a second alarm for additional resources.
Four people escaped the homes without injury, but two dogs are still unaccounted for.
Three homes in total were destroyed and a fourth had minor damage.
"I've never seen anything like it in my life," said Morgan Caouette, who lives nearby.
