Nobody was hurt, but 10 people are out of their homes following a fire.

Around 3:20 a.m. on Thursday, June 20, Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services (LFES) was called to an apartment complex on the 3200 block of 20 Avenue South.

They say a fire was seen coming from a third-floor unit.

Firefighters initiated an exterior attack to cool the fire before entering the building.

LFES says several occupants were rescued by aerial apparatus after becoming trapped on balconies due to heavy smoke in the hallways.
