At least eight people have been forced from their homes after a fire broke out late Sunday night at a four-unit apartment building in Moncton.
No one was injured in the fire, said Dan Bedell, communications director for the Atlantic Canadian Red Cross.
But the Noel Street building sustained damage.
He said Canadian Red Cross volunteers arranged emergency lodging and are helping with purchases such as food and clothing for a woman and two young children from one apartment. They are also helping a couple and their adult daughter from another unit.
