Summary
A fierce fire erupted in a downtown Calgary high-rise Friday evening, sending thick smoke billowing across the city and forcing dozens of residents to evacuate. Firefighters swiftly contained the blaze to the top floor, though its origin—roof or penthouse—remained unclear. Some residents safely sheltered in place, especially those with mobility challenges, while nearby roads were shut down, causing major traffic chaos during rush hour. The cause is still under investigation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
