They were both roughly in the same area, really just a few kilometres from each other up in the Chub Lake Road and North Mary Lake Road area,&#8221; said Calleja, adding that both happened within about an hour of the other and there were, fortunately, no injuries. While their cause is still being investigated they did take place around the same time a lightning storm hit the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One fire involved part of a home and the other a shed. Calleja said the first fire was in the floor level of a home and the residents noticed it. &#8220;They noticed after the storm had gone through, that the floor was getting warm and they thought they smelled smoke so they went downstairs and fortunately were able to locate where they thought the fire was and punched a hole through the drywall and got an extinguisher in there and helped us on the early onset of that. They stopped it from being a lot bigger problem,&#8221; said Calleja, adding that they were very fortunate to be able to find it. &#8220;You change that to 2 o&#8217;clock in the morning and that&#8217;s a whole different deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calleja said two stations responded last evening and about six apparatus and one administration vehicle attended the scenes, which might have made it sound alarming to area residents. &#8220;It does sound like a lot when people hear one after another after another&#8230; and they wonder if it&#8217;s armageddon.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, there were no injuries reported.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several residents reached out to Huntsville Doppler on Thursday wondering why they could hear so many sirens.
