CALGARY — One person is dead following a two-alarm fire at a multi-unit residential home in Calgary's southeast community of Deer Ridge.

Fire crews were called to the 100 block of Deerview Way shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday night.

A second alarm was called after firefighters arrived due to the amount of flame extending from the basement.

Crews were able to get the fire under control fairly quickly.

Firefighters searched the building, where they found the body of a male resident.

A fire investigator, Calgary Police and the medical examiner are investigating what caused the blaze.
