The tenants from each of the remaining two units made their own arrangements but will be offered similar Red Cross help if needed.
The Red Cross said it’s currently looking for more volunteers in Cape Breton and throughout the Atlantic provinces to help people impacted by events like residential fires or large-scale disasters and emergencies.
