Fire in The Pas

The Red Cross is extending funding for two extra days to help more than 85 people left homeless by an apartment fire in The Pas.

 

The fire broke out on the third floor of the threeâ€'story building just before 3 a.m. last Friday.

 

More than 100 people were forced to leave their suites and the only known injury was to one person who broke a pelvis after leaping from a thirdâ€'floor balcony.

 

With only mild water damage to the first two floors, some people could be back in their suites within a week or two, but others could be out much longer, a fire official said on Friday.

 

The Office of the Fire Commissioner is investigating what caused the blaze.
