The Calgary Fire Department is investigating after a small, high-end car dealership was destroyed in an early morning fire on Monday.
Firefighters were called out to the dealership in the 5500 block of 1A Street southwest around 4:30 a.m. and arrived to find thick smoke and flames coming from the building.
District Chief Brent Fahlman says crews immediately called a second alarm because of the size of the fire, with a total of 13 trucks attending the scene, including three units that ran master lines to battle the fire from above.

“[Speaking] with the building owner who was on scene, there was a hybrid vehicle [inside],” said Fahlman.
Firefighters were able to make their way inside and confirmed no one was injured.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
