Over two dozen people were displaced Friday after a fire ravaged a 15-unit apartment building in Eskasoni First Nation.
The fire on Sanwell Paul Drive was reported around 1 a.m. and all residents were evacuated with no reported injuries.
The building, however, sustained severe damage.
The Eskasoni Band Council and Canadian Red Cross are assisting 21 of the residents in locating emergency shelter, food, clothing and other basics.
Other residents chose to stay with relatives or friends.
Red Cross spokesperson Dan Bedell had no information about the case of the fire, but said all residents were unharmed.
