Emergency crews were called to the Geo C King Tower in the 800 block of Sixth Street SE around 6 a.m. after the building’s fire alarm system was activated and a 911 call reported smoke coming from a fifth-floor suite. Firefighters encountered heavy smoke and flames inside the unit and found an injured woman outside the suite. The fire was quickly extinguished. A total of 22 people were evacuated from the building, but several residents were told to evacuate due to heavy smoke or mobility issues that prevented them from leaving the tower. Fire crews checked residents in all suites on all floors of the building to ensure their safety, offer reassurance and answer questions. Air quality inside the building was deemed safe and all evacuees were allowed to return indoors. Officials with the Calgary Police Service tell CTV News the explosion was reportedly the result of an elderly woman smoking next to an oxygen tank.
