“The flames were isolated to several end units and the other residents were eventually allowed to return to their rooms,” says Cst. Clark. “Those who were displaced by the fire had secondary accommodations arranged.”
Cst. Clark says Penticton RCMP and the Penticton Fire Department will continue investigating to find out what caused the fire and until foul play is ruled out.
