When they arrived they found fire coming out of the top floor of the wooden duplex.
Most of the residents had already safely left the building before crews arrived but firefighters did assist other residents in leaving the building.
The blaze was contained to one unit in the building and fire crews stayed on scene for approximately three hours.
Officials say 13 people have been displaced as a result of the fire.
A woman and a man from the damaged apartment have been assisted by the Canadian Red Cross while 11 other residents made other arrangements as they await cleanup of minor smoke or water damage.
There were no injuries reported.
Comeau said the fire is believed to be accidental but it remains under investigation.
