Multiple homes were involved in a large fire along the 12800 block of Coventry Hills Way in northeast Calgary late Monday morning.
According to the Calgary Fire Department, four houses were impacted: three were extensively damaged and one sustained some exterior heat damage to the vinyl siding.
Officials said there were no injuries and they do not know what caused the blaze.
Calls to 911 began coming in at 10:30 a.m.
Two residential gas lines were also damaged prompting the evacuation of 20 homes. Residents were allowed back in once gas lines were shut off by ATCO Gas and fire crews deemed the homes safe.
Traffic in the area will be affected for some time while fire crews continue to extinguish hot spots.
