Three tiny homes and travel trailer catch fire in Moccasin Flats

Brad Gustafson is on of the community members who spearheaded the building of these homes. He says that he’s unsurprised that they burnt down adding they accomplished what they set out to do.

“It accomplished, an immediate short term solution for the very pressing need of needing shelters in the middle of last winter. It accomplished, the fact that it drew attention to the complexity of the problem,” says Gustafson. “It accomplished kind of lighting a fire under city council a little bit. The Atco are a result of that, at least partially. It accomplished, a lot of dialog on all levels of government and it helped to force them to put all their heads together and begin to really start trying to address the issue.”

Damages are estimated at $4,000 and the cause of the fires remain under investigation.
