No one hurt in Ross Street apartment fire
It appears that a fire that badly damaged an apartment unit in downtown Red Deer Wednesday afternoon began in a bedroom.
However, Acting Deputy Fire Chief Jon Evans said on Thursday morning that investigators have yet to determine an actual ignition source.
“We’re still waiting to speak with the tenant to determine what may have been in the room at the time,” explains Evans. “There were two people in the unit but according to the owner of the unit, there is one tenant displaced at this point.”
“There were a number of units that did not have anybody home at the time and those that were home,” adds Evans. “I think we had evacuated from the eight units, there were approximately 15 people.”
