Five residents in total were displaced by the blaze
BC Housing is "relieved and thankful" that no one was hurt during a fire at the Meadowlark Motel in Penticton this week, a facility they own and operate in advance of a larger planned development complex.
Luckily, Penticton fire crews were able to knock it down and no injuries were reported other than to a cat who was treated with oxygen on scene. "BC Housing’s tenant support worker, coordinated access and assessment team, property portfolio manager and other staff are in Penticton working with all residents directly affected to provide them with support during this difficult time. BC Housing has also purchased basic essentials for each of the tenants such as toiletries and clothing, and each displaced tenant will also be provided a $200 gift card to help with any additional needs they may have over the next few days.
