Only two units were occupied at the time, and there were no injuries.
“The owner lived in one condo and a couple with one child occupied the adjacent unit,” the Canadian Red Cross said.
All four are staying with relatives or friends in the community for now, and have been assisted by Canadian Red Cross volunteers with emergency purchases including clothing, food and other essential needs.
