Fire investigations are confirming that the Pioneer Lodge fire on Monday, Sep. 9 was caused by an electrical issue in the attic, writes CEO Stephanie Miller of the Lloydminster Region Housing Group.
The social media post indicates that the fire was contained to one wing of the building and an assessment of smoke damage is underway.
The focus remains on taking care of the residents who have been displaced and there is no timeline for a return to Pioneer Lodge.
Residents needing specific items may call 780-872-1106. However, all areas of the building are not accessible at this time, and this limits the ability to retrieve items, writes Miller, who asks for understanding as they work through the challenges.
While some residents are staying with family, those who did not have family in Lloydminster are now staying at a local hotel.
