It's April 7. Welcome in. This is Calgary News today, where local news meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. A massive fire broke out at a commercial warehouse in southeast Calgary on Monday afternoon, pulling in 60 firefighters and 25 fire trucks to battle the blaze. Crews rode up around 3.40 pm to 56 Avenue southeast near Barlow Trail southeast, where workers were already evacuating safely, injuries, and everyone accounted for. The flames kicked off in a storage room, and initial tries with dry chemical extinguishers fell short, leading to heavy smoke that choked visibility, and made it tough to pinpoint the fire's heart. Firefighters hauled in hoses and a big fan to clear the air, but the contents and layout kept things tricky, stretching the fight over several hours. While warehouse staff pitched in on access and gear, other crews from ATCO gas and max, police and paramedics showed up too, shutting off the gas line just in case, and investigators
plan to dig in once. The smoke fully clears.
