Calgary Police Service investigators have ruled that a fire in which a man was killed and two others were injured was an accident.
The explosion and fire broke out in what police believe to be a homeless camp located near Builders Road and 50 Ave S.E., on Tuesday morning at around 2 a.m. The Calgary Fire Department extinguished the blaze and discovered the body of the deceased man. Two other men were located nearby with injuries. They were taken to hospital in non-life threatening condition.
