Three families have been displaced by a fire in Leduc early Sunday morning.
The RCMP said an officer on patrol saw a fire at a construction site on 48 Avenue and 50 Street around 1 a.m.
The officer reportedly went door-to-door alerting neighbours, and several homes were evacuated.
"We heard a really big bang and then mom came and woke us up. We went outside and we saw that house on fire and then the duplex on fire," said Brayden Mourits, who lived in the area.
"It was crazy. I was kind of scared too, scared like another explosion would happen or something, because the big bang," he said.
Officials say a power pole in the back alley caught fire and knocked out power to several other homes in the area. Crews were still working to restore those services into Sunday afternoon.
Four homes were damaged or destroyed in the fire, including Gavin Dhaliwal's. Sunday, he and his family salvaged what they could from their home.
