UPDATE (Monday, April 14): Damages from the residential house fires are estimated at $1.75 million.

That is according to Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services (LFES), which says the windy conditions made it “challenging” to contain, but the blaze has been extinguished.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Residents are asked to avoid the area to allow investigators and restoration crews to work safely and effectively.

Original Story:

A pair of homes on the west side caught fire around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, 2025.

Few details have been released by the Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) and Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services (LFES) at this time.

They say it occurred on the 1200 block of Pacific Close West in the Garry Station neighbourhood.

Smoke was heavily visible throughout west Lethbridge.

Several commenters on social media said that nobody was in either home at this time. Official details have not been released.
