Nine people from three families escaped without injury after a fire last night damaged a three-unit apartment building in downtown Liverpool.
The Liverpool Fire Department responded to the call at 396 Main Street around 8 o'clock, Friday night.
One apartment was heavily damaged but it’s expected occupants of the other two may be able to return home today after cleanup of smoke and water damage.
The fire is being attributed to an unattended pot of cooking oil.
The Canadian Red Cross arranged emergency accommodations and meals for six people from two units. Occupants of the third apartment stayed with family in the community.
