An apartment fire in Grande Prairie’s Gateway subdivision has displaced a number of residents.
Early Monday morning, Mounties were called to help evacuate residents of the Margaret Edgson Manor assisted living apartments on 107A Avenue and 110 Street.
The fire was brought under control in the early hours, but wind conditions caused issues for crews, according to the City of Grande Prairie.
All residents of the building were evacuated, but at least three people suffered minor injuries, according to RCMP. The fire also caused serious damage to the building.
Between 20 to 40 people will need temporary accommodations, according to the city.
Local hotels are being contacted for accommodations, and the GPFD along with officials from the Grande Prairie Regional Emergency Partnership are working to help those displaced to find a place to call home for now.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Police are asking anyone with dashcam or other video footage of the area or information is asked to contact Grande Prairie RCMP at 780-830-5700.
