Three residents were sent to hospital for smoke inhalation but were otherwise uninjured, fire chief says
Four evacuees are receiving emergency support services after being displaced from their home by a fire that ripped through a Lower Lonsdale apartment.
Video footage taken from a nearby building shows bright red flames pouring out of the window of a ninth-floor unit, licking the exterior of the building two storeys above. “We were able to contain the fire quickly to the unit,” Schalk said. “We were able to evacuate the building, and assist with residents suffering from symptoms of smoke inhalation.”
“We were able to turn the building back over, and most of the residents were able to get back into the building last night,” the fire chief said.
