The first fire crews arrived on the scene at 8:55 pm to find a fire at the Parc Fontaine Apartment Complex. A bottom apartment in a six-apartment section was heavily involved in fire as firefighters entered the complex’s front gates. The family of two adults and one child had already escaped from the apartment when firefighters arrived. One adult stated he was awake and smelled smoke coming from the washroom. When he opened the door, heavy smoke and fire filled the washroom.
Their neighbor, an adult male lived in the apartment next door and had smoke and water damage in his apartment. The fire was contained to the one apartment where the fire started.
