A man is in hospital with burn injuries after a Sunday afternoon garage fire in northeast Calgary.
Firefighters were called around 3:30 p.m. to the 100 block of Bedford Drive N.E. for a fully engulfed blaze.
Thick smoke could be seen billowing from the detached garage.
CTV News spoke with a neighbour who recalled hearing a loud explosion and then calling 911.
"I was thinking that somebody hit somebody because sometimes this road is very tough, maybe a car accident," said Mahbubul Hoque.
"So I came out, but my house totally shaked," Hoque added. "I came out in the back, saw the fire right away, and it was a small fire, but then in a few seconds, it was a disaster."
Crews managed to quickly bring the flames under control, with only minor damage to the home and none to neighbouring residents.
