Apartment Fire under investigation


An apartment building on Cambrian Drive had to be evacuated Friday morning
due to a fire in one of the units.

The fire broke out around 9:30, but Kenora Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says
they were able to contain the blaze to the apartment of origin.

He says there was extensive damage to the apartment, but quick response from
fire fighters kept the fire from spreading to any other units in the building.

Brinkman says the apartment complex was evacuated only as a precaution.

No damage estimate has been given but Brinkman says the apartment will need
extensive renovations.

The cause of the fire still has not been determined.
