Fire officials and some 50 residents are shocked but grateful that everyone, including the pets, escaped a raging apartment fire at 48 Wellington St in Port Hope during the noon hour Thursday. According to Port Hope Fire Chief C. Ryan Edgar, the blaze broke out in a third-floor unit and quickly spread to the roof of the 24-unit residential complex. Residents of the apartment who have not found refuge with friends or family are being housed temporarily at the Port Hope Parks and Recreation Centre at 62 McCaul St in the Lake Ontario town. The Red Cross and other victim services are on site — with CHEX TV. Peterborough
