<div>On the evening of July 28th, 12 residents living at 34 Main Street, Grand Valley were forced to evacuate as a fire devastated their homes.  The residents including a 12-year-old girl, a pregnant woman and an elderly with medical conditions were forced to leave everything behind as they were awoken by neighbours banging on their door and a fire alarm sounding.  Grabbing their pets and only what they can hold in their hands they exited the building as the fire department arrived on the scene.  Despite the excellent efforts of the fire department, many of the units experienced fire and smoke damage, causing the need for great repair.  The Red Cross has stepped in to help provide short-term accommodations which will only be available to the tenants for a few days at which time they will be left without a place to stay.
