Calgary Fire Department Responds to Fatal Three-Vehicle Collision

The Calgary Fire Department (CFD) responded to a tragic three-vehicle motor vehicle collision on Tsuut’ina Trail SW just before 11:00pm that claimed the lives of four people and left four others injured.

Multiple CFD crews were dispatched to the scene following reports of a serious collision. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered two of the three vehicles fully engulfed in flames. Crews immediately initiated an aggressive fire attack while simultaneously conducting rapid searches of the involved vehicles and providing emergency care to those who could be reached.

Once the fire was brought under control, firefighters continued to work in coordination with Alberta Emergency Health Services (EHS) to assess and treat those involved. Despite the rapid actions of first responders, four people were pronounced deceased at the scene. Four additional patients were transported to hospital by EHS for further assessment and treatment.

The Calgary Fire Department extends its deepest condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of those who lost their lives, and our thoughts are with those who were injured and everyone affected by this tragic incident.

Following the completion of firefighting and rescue operations, the scene was turned over to the Calgary Police Service, which is leading the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision.

The Calgary Fire Department urges all motorists to drive attentively, obey posted speed limits, avoid distractions, and always wear a seatbelt. Safe driving practices remain one of the most effective ways to prevent serious and fatal collisions.
