At approximately 09:00 on Thursday, May 22, 2025, the Grande Prairie Fire Department responded to a fire at a two-story townhouse in the Northgate area. Upon arrival, crews observed flames spreading up the rear of the home and into the attic.
Three GPFD crews initiated exterior fire suppression before entering multiple units to check for fire extension in the attic and ensure all residents had evacuated safely. While all occupants made it out, two individuals were assessed on scene by EMS for smoke inhalation.
The fire displaced two families, who have since secured temporary accommodations.
The safety of our residents remains the top priority for the Grande Prairie Fire Department. We’re ready, willing and able to help when needed.
