Charges have been in laid in relation to a fire at the Evergreen Terrace housing complex on Blanshard Street last Friday.

Police were called around 4 a.m. to respond to a dispute in the housing complex on Blanshard Street between Bay Street and Hillside Avenue. Officers discovered the fire at a unit that had several people inside.

Police were able to get everyone out safely and evacuated several surrounding units as the fire spread.

Some residents have been relocated due to fire damage.
