“Anyone living in this complex should be reaching out to their property manager for more information and to the Canadian Red Cross for emergency support services,” the city told LNN.

An investigation is ongoing with Lethbridge Fire and Lethbridge Police working together to determine a cause and circumstances of the incident.

The city said no further information will be available until after the investigation is complete and due to the size and complexity of the fire, this could take several days.
