A number of people were forced from their homes early Friday morning due to a fire at a west Edmonton seniors housing co-op.

Fire broke out at the Summit Village Housing Cooperative at 149 Street and Stony Plain Road shortly before 1 a.m.

District fire chief Glenn Roseboom said crews arrived on scene quickly to find a suite on fire.

“Looked like it was on the outside when we arrived and they hit it from the outside, knocked it down pretty good,” Roseboom said.
