Two families displaced following Northgate fire

The fire displaced two families, but no serious injuries were reported following a townhouse fire in Northgate on Thursday morning.

The Grande Prairie Fire Department says they were called to the scene around 9 a.m. on May 22nd, and arrived to flames spreading up the rear of the two-storey home and into the attic.

Three crews initiated exterior fire suppression before entering multiple units to check for fire extension in the attic and ensure all residents had evacuated safely. Everyone made was accounted for, but two people were assessed on scene by EMS for smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire was not disclosed.
