Fire investigators are probing the cause of an early morning Edmonton house fire that sent a woman to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Crews rescued the unconscious woman after being called to the “fully involved” house fire at 5807 109 St. at about 7:28 a.m. Tuesday, district chief Robert Shellnutt said.
Two men who were also in the home escaped, but a dog perished.
The men were listed in stable condition, Alberta Health Services spokeswoman Kirsten Goruk said in an email.
All three people are between the ages of 20 and 40.
Six fire crews arrived at the scene within five minutes of receiving the first call. No other homes were damaged or threatened by the fire.
“Crews did an excellent job and gained entry to the house and dealt with a fire that was in the basement and the main floor,” Shellnutt said.
“Crews came across debris in the house that made it challenging, but they managed to perform their tasks admirably.”
Police were also called to the fire.
No cause has been determined.
