The residents of a King Street apartment building were safely evacuated after a fire broke out in the structure Monday morning.
Greater Sudbury Fire Services firefighters are still at the building at this hour, working to extinguish the flames.
Speaking to Sudbury.com on scene, Deputy Fire Chief Jesse Oshell said he’s not sure at this time how many units are in the building, or how many people live there. There is some concern for pets in the building, he said.
The fire is concentrated in an apartment on the top floor, but there’s smoke throughout the building and damage from the basement to the top floor.
One side of King Street (the same side as Pro Stitch and Long & McQuade) remains closed to traffic at Notre Dame Avenue as firefighters battle the blaze.
