Apartment building involved in massive Brandon fire can hopefully be saved
BRANDON, Man. — One of the community organizations that manages apartments in a building that was damaged by a massive fire that spread through downtown Brandon, Man., over the weekend says it looks like the building can be fixed.
Stephanie Lockerby, with the local chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association, says she walked through the four-floor Massey Manor on Monday afternoon.
Flames from a fire that destroyed three buildings in Brandon’s core spread to the roof of Massey Manor, but Lockerby says the fire only appears to have burned curtains and left soot in the suites on the upper floor.
However, she says water damage is extensive throughout the 58-unit building, and that the drywall is soaked.
