Firefighters tackled a challenging watery scene amid freezing temperatures Friday evening following a water main rupture in northwest Calgary.
Incident at 19 Street and Constable Road
Emergency crews arrived at the intersection of 19 Street and Constable Road N.W. around 8 p.m. The break unleashed a steamy flood that turned the area slick and hazardous.
Responders quickly contained the water flow to the curb and directed it into a nearby storm sewer, navigating the icy conditions with caution.
City Response and Minimal Impact
City sanding teams mobilized to address the slippery surfaces. Officials confirm no homes experienced flooding from the incident.
This event remains a contained, localized problem, distinct from larger disruptions like the previous Bearspaw feeder main failure in the same region.
