Urgent Fire Displaces Resident in Sudbury Apartment Complex

UPDATE: A fire at the Balmoral Apartments on Bruce Avenue in Sudbury has left one resident displaced and a beloved pet lost. The incident unfolded early this morning, around 7 a.m., prompting immediate evacuation of the building as multiple fire crews responded to the scene.

Firefighters swiftly arrived, with four Sudbury-area fire stations participating in the operation. According to Deputy Fire Chief Jesse Oshell, the fire was contained to a kitchen in one unit and is not considered suspicious. “(The fire) was in one unit; it was contained to the unit in the kitchen,” Oshell stated in an interview with CTV News.

The fire alarm was audible from outside the building, heightening concern among residents.
