LETHBRIDGE, AB – Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services responded to a residential fire on the morning of Friday, November 29, 2024.

Crews were called to the 1800 block of 18 Avenue North at around 4:30 a.m. after the family in the home noticed smoke and called 911 before evacuating.

Firefighters from four fire stations arrived and determined that an unattended candle had caused the fire, which damaged a wall in the residence.

Crews extinguished the fire, and the damage was estimated at $5,000.

LFES is reminding residents that candles should be extinguished before leaving a room or going to sleep, and that it is important to install smoke alarms and test them monthly.
