An investigation into a Friday morning residential fire in the Calgary community of Deer Run is underway.
At around 10:50am on Friday, two people, a teenager and an adult, started a fire in their fireplace which turned into a chimney fire before spreading to the attic of their Deer Park Place home.
Flames could be seen coming from the roof and the chimney, a spokesperson for the fire department confirmed.
A smoke alarm woke the youngster, who was able to escape with his hamster.
The residents and the hamster were unharmed, the fire department confirmed, but they are looking for their cat.
There was smoke and fire damage to one bedroom, as well as the chimney, the attic and part of the roof.
Crews are staying at the scene, looking for hot spots in the chimney and attic area.
