Amherst blaze

Two men were displaced by a fire last night that was confined to one apartment of a 12-unit building in Amherst.

Both are staying with relatives or friends and are getting help from the Canadian Red Cross.

Other tenants briefly evacuated from the three-storey brick building were later allowed back in and there were no injuries from the fire at 224 East Victoria Street.
