The reports on two separate fire incidents that occurred in Calgary during the evening rush hour on June 5, 2025. The first fire broke out in an industrial area in the southeastern part of the city at a business on 17A Street SE, around 5:20 p.m. The fire appeared to have originated in an automotive repair bay and quickly spread. A second alarm was called to bring in more firefighting crews due to the size of the fire and the complex nature of the structure, which included multiple businesses and buildings connected to each other. The fire was eventually brought under control, and no injuries were reported.
