NE Calgary blaze caused by propane barbecue, fire department says

The Calgary Fire Department (CFD) says an explosion and fire in a northeast home over the weekend was caused by a propane barbecue.

Carol Henke with the fire department says the explosion on Anaheim Green NE was accidental, caused by a barbecue that was used outside and then moved into the garage.

The force of the explosion was so great that the garage door flew off, a boat rolled into another home, and the garage itself was knocked off its foundaiton.

Emergency crews took one person to hospital in serious, non-life threatening condition.
