Two people have died in a house fire in Calgary.

A statement from the Calgary Fire Department says crews were called to the home in the Glenbrook neighbourhood just after midnight.

Firefighters then found a fourth person in the basement as they battled the flames.

Officials say two people died of their injuries and the other two were treated at the scene and released.

They say a cause of the fire is under investigation.
