Five families are being assisted by the Red Cross after a fire broke out in a low-cost housing complex in NDG Friday night.
It happened at a building on Grand Boulevard near Sylvia-Smith Street at around 11:30. Firefighters say fire began in the basement of the building and spread to the first and second floors. A fault in the electrical system is being blamed for the blaze.
Fortunately, everyone in the building was able to get out safely.
