Chestermere Fire Services was dispatched to a house fire on Rainbow Falls Way on Sunday (Jan. 12).
Platoon chief Brent Paquette said that Chestermere Fire Services were made aware of the blaze at around 2:30 p.m. by dispatchers in Calgary.
"While on route, our crews witnessed heavy volumes of flames and smoke coming from that area," said Paquette.
Fire services also got in touch with their mutual aid partners, including firefighters in Strathmore, to help fight the blaze.
Several photos of the fire were posted online by Chestermere residents.
"When crews arrived on the scene, everybody was out of the home," said Paquette. "We're very happy that working smoke detectors also worked and went off to alert everyone."
There was one injury in the blaze, as one of the home's occupants received a burn on their hand.
"Unfortunately, the fire had spread quite quickly up into the roof, and that home is a total loss," added Paquette. "We were very fortunate to save the homes on either side with our crews."
The fire was put out later on Sunday, with fire services remaining at the scene the following day.
