A dozen families are searching for new accommodations after fire forced them out of their apartments Tuesday night.
“I feel bad for them, my tenants are important,” said Leila Duncan, who handles property management at the four-storey apartment located at 826-7th Ave.
It was shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday when fire crews responded to the blaze in unit 302. The tenant apparently had left something cooking on the stove and had fallen asleep when the fire started.
