Firefighters rushed to an acreage in southeast Calgary on Sunday night and found a home completely engulfed in flames.

Crews arrived on scene at just before 7 p.m. Sunday and found the blaze too intense and had to pull out of the home before it could be searched and concentrate on keeping the fire from spreading.

Acting Battalion Chief Bob Akins said the fire was compromising the integrity of the structure. "It was burning away so we had to pull them out and then went defensive on the fire immediately."

Police are waiting for arson investigators to determine the cause of the blaze.

No one was hurt in the blaze and there are no estimates on damage.
