MEDICINE HAT, AB — Residents in a third floor condo unit in Riverside didn’t know there was a fire on their deck, until emergency crews arrived to put it out.

Firefighters were called to the complex in the 1600 block of Saamis Drive NW just after 3:00 p.m. Thursday.

The fire was quickly extinguished, but did spread from a planter, to the floor on the balcony and some siding.

Crews were forced to cut into the deck to make sure the fire didn’t spread.
