He said fire crews were able to contain the damage of the fire.
‘Fortunately, the rest of the building remains habitable,” Gormick said. It won’t be long before the building is ready for occupancy again, he said.
Gormick said the two patients were taken to hospital by BC Ambulance, but their conditions remain unknown.
The building is subsidized and made up of studio and one-bedroom units.
