Apartment fire leaves mother homeless By Craig MacBride S P E C IA L T O T H E BEAVER A Hixon Street fire has left windows of a two-storey apartment building boarded up. a cat and a bird dead, a dog injured and one tenant and her monthold baby homeless. Passersby called the Oakville Fire Department at 6:40 p.m. Saturday, and six units were dispatched. The fire was contained to one of the six units in the building, although the second floor and basement apartments suffered water and smoke damage. No one was in the apartment when the fire started, and Deputy Chief John deHooge says the fire, which originated in the kitchen and spread throughout the apartment, may have been caused by a dysfunctional refrigerator. Damage was estimated at $75,000, said deHooge. The tenant, whose name has not been released, did not have contents insur ance. Representatives from the Oakville Red Cross Personal Disaster Assistance (PDA) program responded to the fire scene and looked after the tenant and her month-old baby, whose apartment was destroyed, as well as the tenants from the smoke-damaged apartment. Short-term housing was arranged for the tenants. "It was primarily a need for a shelter. and we got the person into the Holiday Inn," said John Robertson, chair for dis aster services for Oakville Red Cross. "There was also a one month old baby involved, and we got formula for the baby." The PDA has arrangements with numerous companies in the area, includ ing the Holiday Inn, Shopper's Drug Mart and Winners, so they can arrange shelter, medication and clothing, as well as smaller things like toothbrushes for disaster victims. The dog was unconscious when fire fighters pulled it from the apartment, but was resuscitated and transported to the Oakville Humane Society before being taken to a veterinarian.
