Multiple fire crews responded to a fire in a condominium in southwest Calgary early Saturday morning.
The incident happened at 35 Richard Court S.W.
According to several residents who spoke to CTV News, alarms went off around 4:50 a.m.
"When we exited our unit shortly thereafter, the hallway was filled with smoke," said Dave, who lives in a unit close to the one where the fire was.
"I believe it was a unit fairly close to mine just across the hall that actually – I don't know if it was the unit itself or the balcony – but it caught on fire," he said.
"As we were leaving, there was three or four firefighters in the hallway who were connecting the hose and getting ready to tend to the fire," he added.
