A fire in a south end Saint John apartment building has forced some residents from their homes.
Platoon Chief Craig Melvin said Saint John Fire crews were called to 175 Britain Street around 9 a.m. Monday and were met with heavy smoke and flames in one of the units.
Melvin said crews contained the fire to one room, but there was resulting smoke damage to several second and third-floor apartments and water damage to the unit directly below the blaze.
