Piikani Fire Department responded to a 911 call on Tuesday, November 26, at 7:43 pm. An abandoned house at 1919 15 Ave south of the railway tracks and east of highway 786 was on fire.
"We threw all our forces at the fire, to protect the surrounding areas. We called in Pincher Creek to assist us," said Piikani Fire Chief Floyd Provost.
One of the goals was to keep the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings or becoming a grass fire. Wind can be a large factor in how quickly a fire event can spread and Provost said it was a calm night for wind. Piikani deployed 2 units and the brush buggy on site, and Pincher Creek responded with one engine.
This is considered to be a suspicious fire and under is investigation by the RCMP.
