A fire broke out at an apartment complex in the city over the weekend.

Chief John Maskerine says the fire started in the kitchen of an Ashberry Place apartment Saturday evening.

All of the residents of the three-story building kept warm in neighbouring buildings while fire fighters battled the blaze in the minus forty conditions.

Maskerine said that most residents were able to return to their apartments after the fire was put out, and those that couldn’t found places to stay here in Thompson.

The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.
