There were several fire trucks and ambulances at the Jesken Aerie, an assisted living residence on 817 Goldstream Ave this afternoon, suggesting there was a fire. A call to the front desk of the facility to confirm this got voicemail, but it appeared a large number of the facility’s residents were downstairs in a common area, and a large number of emergency responders appeared to be on the scene.
The Jesken Aerie is a 60 unit facility run by M’akola Housing Society, and has the involvement of Independent Living BC and VIHA (Vancouver Island Health Authority). It was constructed in 2005 and features a West Coast Aboriginal theme.
