U-Ville Fire Displaces 16

More than 50 firefighters and nine pumper trucks battled a noon-hour blaze in Unionville that destroyed 16 seniors' units.
No fatalities were reported.
All but one of the 16 displaced residents have been accounted for.
Staff at the Unionvilla facility are contacting the family of one female resident, who reportedly, was at a doctor's appointment when the fire started.
A roof fire near 37 Anna Russell Way was reported at 12:27 p.m. and by the time crews arrived, the fire had spread to the row of attached homes.
By about 1:30 p.m., the fire was extinguished.
The cause of the blaze has not been determined.
