‘She was screaming’: Multiple people rescued from fatal Alberta house fire
Global News
When Calgary firefighters arrived, flames were shooting from both floors of the home, threatening to spread to neighbouring houses.
A fatal house fire in the northeast community of Taradale is under investigation.
Fire crews responded just after 1:15 a.m. Thursday morning after a 911 call from a neighbour who spotted the flames.
When firefighters arrived, flames were shooting from both floors of the home, threatening to spread to neighbouring houses.
“There was a lot of fire from this structure, coming out the main floor and the second storey,” said Battalion Chief Scott Cowan with the Calgary Fire Department.
“Flames were pushing out to both sides of the structure and impinging on the houses on either side of the structure. Crews were very quick getting water on that fire to prevent the houses on either side from igniting.”
One adult was found dead inside the home during the firefighter’s search.
Five other people were inside the house at the time with two adults managing to escape from the basement on their own.
Two more were rescued from the roof after escaping through an upstairs window. One was a child taken to hospital in serious but stable condition, the other was an adult who is also in stable condition.
