Fire heavily damaged one of six units in an older row house on Prince Edward Heights near the World War 2 era army barracks known as Camp Picton last night.
The call came in shortly after 6 p.m. for a fire at 13 Reichswald Court on “the heights”.
Fire crews faced significant fire and smoke coming from the front of the residence on arrival. Two residents were transported to hospital for observation and released later in the evening. Fire crews from Station 1 (Picton) and 2 (Bloomfield) extinguished the fire and completed overhaul operations until after midnight last night.
Crews contained the fire to unit 13 with smoke and water damage to unit 14.
An investigation into a cause is underway but it is not considered suspicious.
The Salvation Army is helping the people dislocated by the fire.
