Calgary police say three young men in a photo taken near a condo fire in McKenzie Towne have stepped forward and are not considered suspects.
Fire crews were called to the community early Sunday morning. In all, 22 units were destroyed and 13 others damaged.
Damages are currently estimated at between $3 million and $4 million. As well, 14 vehicles and other construction equipment were damaged.
The arson unit is still investigating the cause of the fire.
Police released a photo of three people taken at a second fire at a nearby construction site, which crews were able to put out quickly. By Monday night, police said in a news release that they had identified the people in the photo.
"Since releasing the photograph, all three individuals have come forward to police investigators and provided witness statements. None are considered suspects at this time."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Calgary Crime Stoppers.
