The Port Alberni Fire Department responded to an apartment fire on Redford Street near Fourth Avenue on Friday night around 10 p.m.

Fire damaged one complex in the eight-unit building, displacing the damaged unit’s occupants who were put up in a hotel by Emergency Social Services.

“Just one unit was damaged, the Port Alberni Fire Department extinguished flames with the first crew, I think we had three crews,” said Ed Francoeur, fire captain.

Francoeur said crews are still investigating the cause of the fire.

“It wasn’t really a whole lot of a fire but they’re investigating today, nobody was hurt,” he said.
