The Crowsnest Fire and Rescue services responded to a house fire at a single-family residence in Blairmore on Wednesday, August 28. Fire Chief Jesse Fox says the response to the fire was extremely quick which aided in limiting the damage to the home. Firefighters stayed on scene once the fire was out to ensure there was no further heat or smoke remaining before letting the residents back inside. The fire is believed to have started due to a wood-burning stove but the exact cause is still under investigation. Fox says he encourages everyone who has wood burning appliances such as fireplaces or stoves, to have them regularly cleaned and serviced by qualified professionals.
